This is a set of two Hummingbird species from Arizona. I wish I could have got more detail on this beautiful guy, but it was my best hand held shot of it. The others are stationary and have more detail.

It seemed a slow start for Hummingbird season this year, but with the heat of the summer they are buzzing around my front porch.

This moth resembles a hummingbird as it flies rapidly between plants and hovers to feed over tubular flowers during the day. the Humming-bird Hawk-moth has orange-brown hindwings that are evident in flight. It has forewings that are greyish-brown, a black and white chequered body, and an incredibly long proboscis.
This appears to be an adult female Rufous Hummingbird, based on tail feathers from other photos of the same bird.

Lots of females and juveniles are starting to show up as they get ready to make the trip South, my resident adult male Anna's that own the feeder thinks their departure can't come soon enough, and is pretty much fed up with tourists raiding his feeder.

Two birds showed up at my feeders yesterday. Photographed through window glass but better than some of my photos taken through my windows. Not surprised that it helped to clean the window but still not the quality of glass in my lens (I hope). This hummingbird is on my feeder as I write this (12/27 @ 8:05 am). This feeder is heated and ice free with the help of a heat lamp. Birds prefer this over a commercially built heated feeder and a home built heated feeder. This is the only feeder they are using as far as I know. Temperatures have been below or near freezing 24 hours a day recently. There will be a warming trend latter this week and weekend so temperatures will be in the high 30's and low 40's according to the forecast. IMG_9202
A little better light under the trees today.
The red on its neck is caused by droplets from the feeder.
Not sure what kind it is. I don't try to keep up with it anymore.
I'm still practicing on a new way to photograph hummingbirds, and this is an image that I got yesterday. I was struck the the look of the female Anna's hummingbird's feet in this picture. This was just before she got to the perch of the feeder, and her feet have assumed the position.
I learned the lighting from a book by Linda Robbins called The Hummingbird Guide. Her method is to use a minimum 0f 5 to 6 strobes, a supplied background (which my wife painted), and photograph the birds in the shade so that you don't have to overpower the sunlight. When you use multiple strobes on a subject in the shade you can use lower power settings for each flash which results in shorter flash durations which means it freezes the wing blur. I used 6 Yongnuo strobes because I wanted to use identical manual power output for each flash . One strobe was pointed at the background, one was underneath the feeder, and the other 4 strobes surrounded the feeder. The strobes were all at under 1/16th power, in manual mode, and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N., and you can see the EXIF info on the side. This method is the only way that I've been able to photograph one of these birds with little, or no, wing blur. Down below in the first comment, you can see a picture of the setup that I used.
I've taken quite a few pictures of hummers over the years and put them an album creatively called Hummingbirds.

If you stand still to long waiting for wildlife, wildlife begin to think you are food. This little guy was trying to find out if there was any sweetness in me, it seems the red on the lens attracted him.
I have been trying to photograph a bobcat in the wild for about 2 weeks now, with no luck.
Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris). When at rest, the hummingbird's heart beats ~250 times a minute. When in flight, its heart is pumping at more than 1,200 beats per minute!
