I combined two images of the same hummingbird in approach to the feeder to create a composite. I"m not sure if this bird is male or female... I'd guess either female or immature male because it only has a small orange marking on its throat that almost looks like a flower... instead of the ruby throat you usually see on the male. You can see the orange marking best on the left side image.
Wow! A fabulous image to capture this hummingbird in flight! (excellent focus- no easy feat with hummingbirds!) How clever of you! Interesting about the little orange flower on its throat. Fav!
Terrific sharpness and well combined. I believe you are correct that this is a juvenile male. They don’t get the full throat patch until their second summer.
It's produced such a fabulous result with the bird shown so clearly both times. If you hadn't mentioned it I would have never thought that it was a composite..
