Hummingbird in flight at Lake Henry

This animation shows this little hummer's feeding display. Unlike the other hummers in the yard, it approaches the feeder from the side, about 4 inches to the side and 4 inches above the feeding tube.

Then it hovers for a sip, and repeats the maneuver. It ends by backing off about 4 inches, hovering for a second, then speeding off.

The bird repeats this process when it feeds in the afternoon during twilight. In the morning, it goes directly to the feeder tube, hovers and sips, then jets off.

Pentax istDS at F22, with 70-220mm Soligor manual lens at about 200mm. ISO 200 and 180th second shutter. Camera is about 4 ft. from the feeder.

This might be a Rufous or an Allen's hummingbird. It was one of about 4 hummers that were hanging out in our back yard yesterday.

This hummingbird was sitting and I simply blacked out the background.

Feeding at dusk. Not sure what went wrong with the exposure, but liked the effect.

Visiting Tucson is a nice change from Michigan weather. Warm sun and hummingbirds in winter!

Mr. HelloYarn got all David Attenborough on the hummingbirds today and waited until they bravely came near to drink so he could take photos.

They're funny little buggers, starting fights with each other and hogging the food.

Close up to show mark on her chin - probably a result of a stabbing by another hummingbird. Doesn't appear to be a colored feather, which is possible in this variety. Los Ranchos, NM

I ended up photographing hummingbirds using my macro lens. It's a rather easy thing to do when you're inside the hummingbird aviary at the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson, AZ.
