I think a the fill flash brought out colors and vibrance that are usually not so obvious or brilliant
The red hues of the Crocosmia almost dominate the tiny female Rufous Hummingbird. Photo by my husband, Howard Marsh, with the 500mm on the new sturdy—but lightweight—Manfrotto monopod with gimbal device.
Thanks for your comments!
Young male Ruby Throated Hummingbird sampling nectar from my Mexican Firebush. 9/18/2022. Hoping these tiny visitors will be around for another two weeks, at least.
The Magnificent Hummingbird was recently split into two species because we were all getting bored and wanted some change in this dull and monotonous life.
This is one of the two products of that abomination. Welcome Ravioli Hummer.

By the way, did you fellows know that a hummingbird weighs as much as a quarter? Do you think a hummingbird also weighs the same as two dimes and a nickel? But then she asked a question of her own: How do they weigh a hummingbird?

This hummingbird was so busy feeding and trying to keep an eye on another hummingbird nearby, that it let me get fairly close to take a few pictures. I was really happy with the photo - I think it may be the best hummingbird photo I have captured!

小傢伙長得好快，已經把小窩窩擠得滿滿的，有時還會在一起玩耍，非常快樂。大概再過兩天就要獨立自主、各奔前程了！

I'm simply fascinated watching hummingbirds with their fast action, aerobatics, and hovering skills. This exposure at 1/250th of a second and the wings are just a blur. Imagine the twitch muscles that must be involved. If you zoom in, you can see the head is steady and sharp, but the body is and wings are a blur to keep that hover steady. It's easy to understand why they're called "humming" birds - the wing action is so fast, they literally hum through the air. Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix, AZ
This broad-tailed hummingbird (whoohoo - lifer!) danced among the fairy dusters for quite some time. Usually hummingbirds enjoy more conical flowers but these fairy dusters definitely hold appeal. Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix
The Rufous-tailed Hummingbird was probably the species we saw more of than any other hummingbird during our trip to Costa Rica earlier this month. We certainly saw quite a few. I usually prefer to get photos on non-manmade objects whenever I can but when this little beauty flew up and landed right next to me I couldn’t resist taking a few shots and I’m glad I did because I really find the result pleasing. It helps when your favorite color is green!
We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...

Photographed at my home. I have seen rufous hummingbirds off and on for several weeks this spring, mostly males, or perhaps the same bird repeatedly. He is perched in my maple tree near a feeder. Most of the time if one lands in this tree they almost disappear in the leaves so I was lucky with this one to get a clear view. IMG_7433
This little Ruby Throated Hummer is most likely 22-24 days old. This is about the age when they venture further out from the nest and their feathers are coming in.
