Volcano Hummingbird
Tenacity! + 10 Million!
This tiny bird is not much bigger then a bumble bee!
Maybe 2.5 inches from beak to tail. We photographers zone in to photograph this bird, virtually because it is so cute! Tenacity pays off in life, as we watch this so small bird fighting for position around the flowers for a drink of nectar.
We can call it the will to survive, as in nature these birds endure many challenges. Every other hummingbird is at least 2 times its size or more, but this bird never gives up. It will sit quietly and wait for the right time to come in for some food.
Natural light only, never using a flash makes this nature photography so much simpler., real light, real scene, nothing fake. Some day I hope to go here alone, and shoot video!
Thanks for re-sharing my images, and spreading the beauty of nature.
Please do not feed wild carnivorous animals or bird., stay back and treat them with respect.
ps. just turned over 10 million views on my G+ account! 3.5 M in the last 3+ weeks! thanks to everyone who participates there.
Have a great weekend Canadians!!
