This is a broad-tailed hummingbird feeding on wild currant flowers. I usually pick the "best" picture from a series and post only that one, or two at the most. This time I posted all the related images to convey the action better.
Another of my twilight hummingbird shots. This was taken about 5 feet from the feeder with a flash. I have been surprised how agressive and territorial hummingbirds are ... and how patient you have to be waiting for them to come to the feeder. I can't wait for them to come back this spring ... I'd like to catch a male in this pose, but they're harder !! (best viewed large)
there were so many at my parents house and they never stopped moving i took so many shots, but these are the best.
A vacation week at a peaceful waterfront cottage in the La Peche region near Gatineau Park. The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds were a highlight of the stay. This male was coming in to feed.

I've had a couple of hummingbirds at my feeders the last few days. They are either females or immature males.

I was hoping to shoot birds in the first morning sun.. well.. that was not to be. This little fella had to be shot in almost dark.. so I increased the exposure by over 2 to get it to lighten up a bit. Also, my ISO was set to 100 and in manual mode I used 1/200 for my shutter speed. It is a miracle I got this picture at all! =)
Software used: Lightroom 3 for basic exposure setting and RAW conversion to TIFF and in CS5 I used OnOne Phototools to get the bird bright and sharp without also making the background more sharp.
About the curious neck adornments, read about this bird on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna's_Hummingbird it is Anna's hummingbird and they have a ruby colored throat and some ruby also on the head on the side. Some people call them the "ruby throat-ed hummingbird" but Anna's is special because of the forked tail and that the tail is dark and has white edges. this hummingbird species is native to the West Coast of the US and particularly many are found in Southern California and specifically in my backyard. =) I grow many flowers and trees specifically for them--I don't feed them with the sugar feeder because it actually hurts them! So they get to pick among a variety of flowers and flowering trees in my yard.
This little fella (a juvenile male) is sitting on my still dormant apricot tree checking me out. I had babies all over the place this spring but I also have a cat who investigates everything I investigate... so I did not visit the hummingbird nests, hoping not to call attention to them. =)
Happy Monday everyone!
