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.

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.

An extremely rare hummingbird in the United States

Photographed at my home. I will be away for a few days.

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'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

Greetings from Tucson.

The shade of the orange trees creates a nice dark background.

A Hummingbird resting in NB, Canada

Taking a pause for a rest during his or her southern migration. Fought off a few other birds around it's patch of flowers. I am surprised at how aggressive these little birds are!

This Anna's hummingbird was leaving then returning to this spot in a tree; I got a few chances to capture it in this spot, but didn't manage to get a flight shot. Oh, well!

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

Hummingbird Silhouette a reedit on a previous upload nice soft colors of nature, in this North Carolina scene.

Yes, another hummingbird picture. So sue me, I like hummingbirds ;-)

There are lots of colourful flowers in the garden but she really likes the small orange flowers on the bean plants.

According to the Audubon Field Guide: This is the smallest bird in North America, measuring about 3 inches long and weighing about one-tenth of an ounce (same as a pingpong ball!) I cropped him down to stay under the MM size requirements. Just a little bit more turn and all the gorget feathers would have lit up with a bright purple glow!
