EXPLORED November 26, 2012

A few hummingbirds are still hanging around, which was a surprise to me. I checked out Google and found out that a type called Anna's will stay around all winter if you keep them fed. So I have my trusty feeders full and will keep a couple extras in the house to trade out if they freeze. They are fighting like crazy and it seems there is one bully in the crowd that chases them all off. This is the baby one of the group, and I don't see him getting a sip in very often, so I have decided to hang a few feeders in the front of the house to maybe draw part of the crowd up front so nobody starves.

Another resident hummingbird in my backyard.

I was finally able to catch the hummingbirds in a sunny spot, which is very helpful if you want to freeze the fast wing action of these birds. This shot was taken using my Tamron 28-300mm lens (focal length at 120mm), a tripod, and a long shutter release cord. Color boosting and a slight crop was also used.

Not sure what variety or sex it is.

I should be able to get some really good shots now, once we all get adapted.

Costa's Hummingbird

My mother-in-law has a hummingbird feeder. This male is one of three hummingbirds that regularly feed there.

I was using a Takumar 70-200mm manual focus lens from my 35mm days (effective focal length ~105-300mm on the digital SLR), zoomed to the maximum focal length. I cropped the hummingbird from the full frame in Photoshop to minimize background distractions.

Hanging around the feeder in the maple tree in my front yard. Looking forward to seeing these guys hanging around all winter.

Posed for me on Whiffin Spit at Sooke, BC. There will be more.

Magnificent Hummingbird

Just a wee baby.

Photographed in Mom's garden.

Been stuck at home with shingles, so you'll just have to look at my bird photos for a while. :)
