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!
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.

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！

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!
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 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
I was excited to see a Calliope hummingbird for the first time. My husband and I found this little guy's perching tree and enjoyed seeing him several times while we were in Grand Teton National Park.
Enjoying my migration visitors while I can, caught this Ruby investigating the Mandevilla bloom. Archilochus colubris
This Snowy-bellied Hummingbird was from our October trip to Costa Rica. It is a lot of fun seeing a variety of hummingbirds and Costa Rica has just that. I’m really looking forward to going back next month to see what all we can find.

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