Male Hummingbird

Ever since this guy has moved in, the nectar has been guarded and defended mercilessly. The females are not happy. Boys.

So much rain, so little light = pretty bad shot. But it's my first male shot!

What a cute little guy! Did your Dad see it?

[Daryl O'Hare]

@vskolnik YES! He also saw him chasing anyone who came near the feeder. His friend saw too. They are avid hummingbird watchers and I have been showing them your photos for months now!!!

@darylo Awww, Daryl...I'm glad my photos are being enjoyed :) Also, so glad they saw them in action!

[Leia Smith]

I think it is a great shot, Daryl. Love the colors, especially the neck and white by the beak.

[Taffy]

Great shot Daryl! You have the clear eyes and the very clear red neck band. I'm envious! I just can't get one of these!!

In spite of the poor light this is an AMAZING shot! Fabulous detail, Daryl. I am so impressed you got this so well with the cloudy days we have been having!

[Nancy]

That is so cool...look at those incredible colors and how close you are! I like the low key...Very Beautiful Daryl!

[Annette]

Another great shot Daryl. I love hummingbirds but I have never seen one close up. We don't have them here of course.

I love how the red sparkles...like sequins.
