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!
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...

One of my favorite birds from our trip to Trinidad this month was the Copper-rumped Hummingbird. To our delight there were many hanging around the Asa Wright Nature Centre showing off their beautiful colors. This particular individual was the first bird I photographed on the trip, what a great way to start!
We will be doing this trip again in spring of 2019, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2019-trinidad/

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