Looking up at the Rufous hummingbird who is the "boss" of this feeder.

Back home again - the Hummingbird visiting in bright sunlight.

 

I would have liked to have had some at even higher shutter speed but they come and go so quickly.

Whee! We just returned from an Aperture Academy workshop in Costa Rica. Not surprisingly, one focus was to photograph hummingbirds. You might say I was in hummingbird heaven.

 

This was taken in Bosque de Paz, or Forest of Peace, which is a large private biological reserve. It is located on on the Continental Divide between Costa Rica's National Poas Volcano Park and National Juan Castro Blanco Water Park. There are many feeders just outside the lodge, so all we had to do was step outside to have hummingbirds whizzing around us.

 

Of course, the feeders made the photography a bit challenging, trying to get shots without the feeder in the frame. Every once in a while, I got lucky.

 

This is a male Violet Sabrewing. He was the largest of the many hummingbirds here, but amongst the hardest to capture. I have only cropped this from the left and right sides - vertically, this is full frame!

What a pretty bird! Lots of hummingbirds today!

This guy caught my eye as he perched outside my den window. He stayed around several minutes.

As I was strolling around my backyard gardens, I noticed this determined little ruby throated hummingbird was very angry with a yellow swallowtail for drinking her nectar.

Found a tree full of these beautiful birds :)

My winter resident Ruby-throated Hummingbird was kind enough to pose for me earlier this year. I submitted this image in our local Wild Birds Unlimited photo contest. The contest requires that the the image show both a bird and a product that you can buy from the store. The contest winners are chosen by a popularity contest as customers come into the store throughout the month.

 

This image won second place, and while I would have loved to have made first place, my friend Paul Hueber won that prize with his Painted Bunting image. I'm losing track of how many years he's beaten me! It's hard to compete against a male Painted Bunting. Congratulations, Paul!

 

Thank you all for your support and comments.
