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!
Frilled Coquette Hummingbird (Lophornis magnificus) male - the smallest Brazilian hummingbird (About 6,8 cm, 3 g) and I dare say, the most beautiful too! At at friend's garden - Itatiaia - RJ.

Young male Ruby Throated Hummingbird sampling nectar from my Mexican Firebush. 9/18/2022. Hoping these tiny visitors will be around for another two weeks, at least.
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！

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
Enjoying my migration visitors while I can, caught this Ruby investigating the Mandevilla bloom. Archilochus colubris
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 hummingbird seems to be proud of itself and showing itself off. The photo was taken in my backyard in San Antonio TX.
