I seen this lovely hummingbird outside a shop in America.The hummingbirds are the smallest bird species in all of the bird families living in North America. These colourful birds attract the curiosity of all who see them. The male bird of each species has the ability to turn its gorget, which is the highly iridescent feathers around its throat and head, into brilliant colours of shiny-like metal plates.
it was so cold this morning, i replenished the hummingbirds' food. the feeder hadn't even stopped swinging before a visitor landed.
I almost lost this shot. Hummingbirds flap those little wings at something 1500 times a minute.

We now have a hummingbird feeder to tempt them in. It took 3-4 weeks for them to get used to it, but now they are there regularly. And I also just got a Nikon IR remote, so I can sit comfortably inside and fire off shots. So this is probably the first of many!
A flash of green and red, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is eastern North America’s sole breeding hummingbird. These brilliant, tiny, precision-flying creatures glitter like jewels in the full sun, then vanish with a zip toward the next nectar source. Feeders and flower gardens are great ways to attract these birds, and some people turn their yards into buzzing clouds of hummingbirds each summer. Enjoy them while they’re around; by early fall they’re bound for Central America, with many crossing the Gulf of Mexico in a single flight.
Still trying to figure this out. Best try today but with some ghosting still. Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Eagle Creek Park, Indiana.
Amy spotted this hummingbird outside our living room. Surpisingly he hovered around long enough for me to run upstairs and grab a camera.

These are my first photos of any hummingbird and to say I'm amazed they turned out so well is an understatement.
