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!
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!

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...

This hummingbird seems to be proud of itself and showing itself off. The photo was taken in my backyard in San Antonio TX.

The Sword-billed Hummingbird is a species from South America and has the longest bill of any Trochilidae species, I almost forgot to press the shutter on the camera when I first saw it.. Usually found in forests at high elevations, I believe this one to be a female.
Photographed at my home last night in mostly shade and poor light. I got lucky a couple of times but there is lots of noise in this photo. IMG_1254
Hummingbird photo in my back yard. I'm not sure if I have all of the hummingbirds in the 6 photos that I uploaded correctly identified. If not, let me know. IMG_2620

We have quite a few hummingbirds in our neighborhood and it's always fun watching them zip around and chase each other as they battle for rights to the best food source. This Anna's Hummingbird was coming in for a drink when we snapped this photo.
