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!
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.
Another one of this fantastic male... it's great that hummingbirds are so tame, because they really are marvelous birds.
By the way, did you fellows know that a hummingbird weighs as much as a quarter? Do you think a hummingbird also weighs the same as two dimes and a nickel? But then she asked a question of her own: How do they weigh a hummingbird?

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！

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

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.
