Sitting on a shrub. It was pouring rain but he didn't seem to mind. He is a territorial little guy. I only used to see him in the evenings but now it seems to be his mission to keep all the other hummers away. Pretty, isn't he?
Incredible clarity in this again, I'm tagging @seanoneill because he said he was a fan of hummingbird shots, and I said yours were the best I had seen on here. Fav
@bristolrose - maybe the cold winter, Kathryn - I bet they will be back. I hadn't seen any in a long time but started keeping a feeder up and changing the syrup every few days. Usually we have Anna's at the feeder year round but I haven't seen any Annas this year - just rufous.
Beautiful hummingbird. Today I had my first chance to take captures to these fast birds, and realized that's not easy, and I'm giving much more credit to the ones that can, like you :)
