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!
I loved taking this photo because this female hummingbird kept flying around my head so I patiently waited until she landed on a birdfeeder to get this shot.
Need some "helpful" feedback. This was shot midday. I'm pushing the sliders to the extreme and I've never done that before when shooting the 7D Mark II but with the 5D IV it doesn't add a ton of noise. The first question is, does this look right? Am I pushing it to far? I feel like in post I have no clue what I'm doing. No need to comment on that. LOL
I have No clue what's happened to camera data. 5DMarkIV ISO 800 F8 1/3200 560mm
I missed seeing hummingbirds! While in Baltimore, I could not spot a single hummer. I was hoping to see the ruby-throated variety that's known to inhabit the east coast during warmer months, but I was not lucky. This one is from my garden. I( ⧉ ⦣ ⧉ )

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

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！

Had this female for a week or so before she finally moved on her way for Fall migration. She had a broken bill that is obvious but, she managed well from what I could see. If these birds were a little bigger, they would rule the planet. Archilochus colubris
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 species is not as dominant as the Black-chinned and Broad-billed in Southeast Arizona, but they are not terribly hard to find. This single bird was drawing nectar from a feeder that several broad-tails were using. I noticed that it would perch for a second or two on a particular twig, so I aimed and waited. A single shot in a burst was a keeper.
He's on a dead branch that I stuck into one of the garden beds. Always helps to have a place for them to perch.

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
From Cornell Lab's "All About Birds" : "The largest hummingbird found north of Mexico, the Blue-throated Hummingbird is also one of the most vocal hummingbird species, and its high-pitched, monotonous peeps are a signature sound of summer. They are found in streamside habitats in mountain canyons, as far north as southeastern Arizona, where they are frequent visitors to feeders and usually the dominant hummingbird species."
We found this one near Portal, Arizona.
