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.
This hummingbird kept coming to my window this morning. I couldn't figure out why and then I realized he was looking at the flowers on the kitchen table! So I put them outside for him to check out. He wasn't really interested after all and left after me getting a quick shot!
Sometimes it's peculiarity not quality that piques my interest in a picture. This photo leaves me with the question, How many toes does a Hummingbird have? Also, the way the Hummer merely drags her feet along as dead weights makes me wonder if swimmers couldn't take the hint that all their kicking is a dreadful waste of energy.
I appreciate any comments, hints, or corrections you'd care to offer about any of my postings or albums as well as the educational information you attach to your own postings-- including the whats and whens.
Leucistic Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. I can't believe it! I was on the phone looking out at the garden and this little guy stopped by! Wow!
Checking me out. At one point, she was hovering within a foot of my face, way too close for this lens, so I just stopped and enjoyed the moment.

These are from yesterday and today. Gotta love the fact I don't have to go more than 75 ft from my side door for these.
