I really love this bird, it seems like my friend, we were getting closer and closer. Photo capture on 400.o mm without crop.
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.

I wonder what hummingbirds are thinking as they sit and stare. This is my little friend from an earlier shoot, still dreaming...
Coyote Hills Regional Park, Fremont, CA
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!
Back to Costa Rica, San Gerardo de Dota this time.
It is really incredible how fast those little hummingbirds fly. And I've got a trash bin full of proof that it really is extremely difficult to catch them in flight. So when this Green Violetear hovered just long enough for the focus to catch on I couldn't have been more happy.

Male Ruby Throated Hummingbird. I am messing around with camera settings and have come to realize, there is no set setting to use. I am speaking for myself. I have tried high ISO, low ISO, etc. I don't like the high ISO because of the noise, but personally, I do not like a lot of wing blurr. This summer I am just going to wing it and hope I get lucky :)
This health conscious Anna's hummingbird appears to be reading the label on one of my hummingbird feeders. They prefer my plastic feeder and rarely use this glass/metal feeder. IMG_1369
Enjoyed a morning shoot with Curt (AllHarts). Strawberry Plains Audubon Center. 9/1/12. 09-01-12 Strawberry Plains 144 hummingbird 11x14
We just put the feeders out. The hummingbirds seemed to remember where they had been and were looking for them.
There are many species in Costa Rica and I am not talking about hummingbirds. This is a bridge for so many species from all around the world, and many of them stay here.
You might find around 50 species of hummingbirds in Costa Rica. This is paradise for nature photographers.
