(Calypte anna) - Anna's Hummingbird
Anna’s Hummingbirds are among the most common hummingbirds along the Pacific Coast, yet they're anything but common in appearance. With their iridescent emerald feathers and sparkling rose-pink throats, they are more like flying jewelry than birds. Though no larger than a ping-pong ball and no heavier than a nickel, Anna’s Hummingbirds make a strong impression. In their thrilling courtship displays, males climb up to 130 feet into the air and then swoop to the ground with a curious burst of noise that they produce through their tail feathers.

I really love this bird, it seems like my friend, we were getting closer and closer. Photo capture on 400.o mm without crop.
The bird breeds in mountains from the southwestern United States to western Panama. It inhabits the edges and clearings of montane oak forests from about 2000 m altitude up to the timberline. The oldest recorded Magnificent Hummingbird was a male, and at least 11 years old when he was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Arizona.
One from a few years ago at the Wakanki orquidiario that I've only just discovered. I don't have an id for this bird so any help appreciated. :)
Archilochus colubris
I spent almost a month traveling in Peru and as fantastic as that was I did on plenty of occasions think about the migration I was missing back here in Houston. I thought it was pretty funny to be photographing Paradise Tanagers and worrying about the common birds of home but there you go. Anyway, I had a chance this morning to check out the Xtreme Hummingbird Xtraviganza put on by the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory in Lake Jackson, TX and boy am I glad I did. They put on a great event where I enjoyed two very entertaining talks by Mike Williams and Cliff Shackelford on bird photography and hummingbirds (wow Cliff is an amazing presenter!) and of course clicked a few shots of the hummers who showed up in good numbers. What a fun day!!!

Panterpe insignis
The Fiery-throated Hummingbird is one of my favorite Costa Rican hummingbirds so I always end up taking a ton of photos of them whenever I get the chance. I find them to be somewhat challenging to photograph since they never seem to stay in one place for very long and it is even more challenging to get a shot of their beautiful gorget flash. In this photo you can see just a little of the colors that are possible.

Migratory Rufous hummingbirds are arriving now in Vancouver, B.C. when the salmonberry blooms are beginning to open.

進了CH公園後, 咱倆公婆有默契的分頭辦事, 老公扛著大砲機上山等Merlin, 我則拿著這隻沉甸甸的Nikon到小花園找小鳥兒玩. 基於前幾天的經驗, 我把1.7X加長鏡拿下來, 只端著這短200mm走到這位於山腳, 一過午後就沒有陽光的院落中, 前兩天在此照到的鸟照ISO都太高, 今天用f/2.8來試試看會不會好些....
等了大約30分鐘這隻可愛的Allen's就出現了, 牠喝水洗澡後跳到樹葉底的枝頭上吐舌頭玩, 用1/320簡直就捉不住, 只得加點速度才把這俏皮的樣子留下來了.
This is another in the series of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds from Strawberry Plains, when Allen (asparks306) and I 'worked' the garden area of the Davis house. I preferred the backward formation of the wings, along with part of its body pushed forward. The plant in the image is Coral Bean, a favorite of these birds. Everyone have a nice weekend!
I wonder what hummingbirds are thinking as they sit and stare. This is my little friend from an earlier shoot, still dreaming...
Colorado Springs, CO - Here is another of my favorite summertime visitors from last year as I anxiously await their 2014 arrival ...
Cynanthus latirostris
One of the first birds that comes to mind when I think of Arizona birds is the Broad-billed Hummingbird. Probably that is because this is one of the first birds I saw when I moved there to go to graduate school years ago. The red bill and the brilliant colors of the male always stand out in my mind, even after I have seen so many fabulous hummers in Central and South America.

We randomly stopped in at the Hotel Tolimán for a coffee, and we were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it was and how they had hummingbird feeders set up all around the lunch area so we could watch hummingbirds in beautiful tropical colors while we ate. If I had known, I would have brought my a6000 and telephoto lens, but instead I made do with my RX100v. You can see two hummingbirds at the feeder (as well as some bees), and an inlet of Lake Atitlán behind them.
Hummingbirds tend to be very territorial, so instead of sharing these multiple plentiful feeders, they spend half their time chasing each other away from them. I took several high speed burst shots from this vantage point and got lots of photos with silhouettes of one hummingbird chasing another. I’d like to blend them into one photo showing lots of hummingbirds at once, but since it was handheld, I don’t think I’ll get good results out of a tool like StarStax that doesn’t do any intelligent matching of objects in blending. Any tips on how else to easily merge them?
