Ruby-throated Hummingbird - for the first time this week I had the opportunity to capture hummingbirds..... what a challenge. Needless to say my success rate was very low but they say you only need one. Now that I know where they hang around and return every half hour or so, I will be busy this week practicing :o)
This series is of the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds that took up residence in and around my back yard and garden this past Summer.
I found it amazing how perceptive these little creatures are. They would fly rite up in front of me and hover when I would enter their space . I think to say please leave my space, or hover and feed within a few feet of were I sat or stood, but point a camera in their direction and poof they were gone. Still I have managed to get a few pics of them . here are a few of my favorites.
I am so excited over this picture! I have been trying to capture this little speed demon for months....well years! :)
Finally yesterday it happened...Yes!
I have three coming to my feeders this season.....so it gives me a challenge still!

Hummingbirds are very inquisitive, they will check out any thing and anyone that comes up on my porch! I love it when they hover just inches from my face!
