Ruby throated hummingbird

Not great but best capture of a hummer, I’ve ever taken. I was walking through my bedroom and saw it perched on the tomato cage, so grabbed the camera and took these photos.

well done! First one would probably be diagnostic - if you didn't have the one on the right which is textbook!

[Barb]

I agree with @anniesue. Your second one is not bad at all, considering you haven't captured hummingbirds photos before! Hope you get more opportunities to develop your skills at those kinds of shots, Dorothy!

[Joan Robillard]

Nice

[Paul J]

You did well for a quick, all of a sudden photo opp.

[Babs]

You did well. The one on the right is the best. I hope he come back for you to photograph him again.

[Shutterbug]

The one on the right is good, but I think you kept the one on the left to get the throat color.

[Zilli~]

Well done

[Islandgirl]

Awesome!

@shutterbug49
You are correct 😊

@onewing
He did but it was too late to photograph him. Maybe tomorrow.

Such a long beak!

[Diana]

At least you got a few shots, how delightful.

[Issi Bannerman]

Such delightful birds.

[Dione Giorgio]

I like the on the right. He looks very cute.

[Judith Johnson]

I always think it musst be tricky to capture these birds. So nice to see them here as we don't have them in the UK. Well done!

Beautiful collage

[Beverley]

Pretty beautiful to see… lovely to see one I’m sure

We see them quite often but hardly ever sitting for so long. Our feeder and the flowers they like by the sunroom have screens on the windows making it difficult to take a photo.

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely capture

[Michelle]

Cute little bird

[Oli Lindenskov]

[Rob Z]

That second one is a beauty!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Really not bad for a quick snap- the one of the right is good!

[Yao RL]
