Hummingbird seen in my yard during August 2021 - they were preparing for migration and seemed happy to find my feeders with nectar and many flowering plants to help them fatten up. This guy appeared to be directing his competitors to another location as it guarded the feeder hanging below. Ruby-throated hummingbird.

This is a Ruby Throated Hummingbird pondering me before he attacks the feeder.

day 15

Young male.

My backyard.

This is a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird feeding on one of his favorite flowers on my patio - a variety of Lantana called "Red Spread." They seem to prefer any of the varieties that have red flowers, but feed from the yellow blossoms in the center. The wings are a bit blurred - I think he must have moved. I took this at 1/800th of a second, so that gives you some idea how fast the wings move.

One of the few birds we actually observed at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge on Monday.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

Not ideal conditions, but it is good to see the Hummer's back at the park.

Coquitlam BC.

Photo of a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris). The flowers in the background are red and pink Geraniums (Geranium Caliente).

The photo was taken using manual focus. To capture detail in the wings, two remote Speedlite flash units were used with flash mode set to Manual and flash power set to 1/32.

To answer a question on how this was accomplished using what appears to be a slow shutter speed of 1/180 second, it is an example of the use of High-Speed Photography, using flash on low power, as well as the Max Sync Speed for your camera (1/180 for the Canon 6D). It's a very complex topic.

This guy caught my eye as he perched outside my den window. He stayed around several minutes.

Our backyard sees hummingbirds almost year round.

Hummingbird in flight.

Selasphorus rufus

Hummingbird hawk-moths are found in Britain during most of the summer.

They take their name from having similar feeding patterns to hummingbirds and also because they beat their wings so fast that they actually emit an audible "hum".
