This is my first photograph of a hummingbird in the wild. It was not in flight but perched on a branch. I think it was waiting for the next canna lily flower to blossom, which was close by.

Male Ruby Throated Hummingbird. I am trying to get the female and possibly one of their babies, but they are not cooperating. This guy does not mind me being around.
Little miniature fighter jets with swords mounted on the front. They're tough little birds. Tough and lightning fast!
I'm glad they're no bigger than they are. I'd be afraid to go out on the deck. :-)
Not enough light under the trees to really catch their action. I'm very glad to have the shade though.
Hummingbird
This series is of the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds that took up residence in and around my back yard and garden this past Summer.
I found it amazing how perceptive these little creatures are. They would fly rite up in front of me and hover when I would enter their space . I think to say please leave my space, or hover and feed within a few feet of were I sat or stood, but point a camera in their direction and poof they were gone. Still I have managed to get a few pics of them . here are a few of my favorites.
These tiny buzz bombs are a joy to watch on our warm summer afternoons. Our two feeders are visited by Rufous and Anna hummingbirds, and they quite often quarrel over who has territorial rights to the feeder. Of the dozens of photos I have taken of them, most were within 3 meters (10 feet) because they are totally unafraid of me and the camera.
Lots of hummingbird activity around the feeder today. I decided to set up the tripod and use my wireless controller to try to get some shots of these fascinating little birds. Captured this shot of a female ruby throated hummingbird as she approached the feeder.
Experimenting with the D750. I have a lot to learn about the new camera, but loving it so far.
At first glance, looking through the RAW pictures, it isn't obvious to me which were shot at ISO 200 or 5000.
FYI - At the reduced resolution for uploading to Flickr, this pic shows more noise than some RAW images shot at ISO 5000.
Thanks for stopping by.
