I added a filter to add a touch of pink to the sky.

This kestrel female gave a show last monday.

 

Here she was hovering just about 20 mtr. above me.

 

Handheld shot.

This hover fly was feeding on these late flowers in the park, no idea what the plant is, it is very thorny bush but the branches and thorns are like a succulent or cacti.

Allen's hummingbird aka Selasphorus sasin. Juvenile.

This Arctic Tern is in hover mode as it checks out the space directly beneath it for food.

 

Taken 1 June 2018 at Potter Marsh, Anchorage, Alaska.

It was a real pleasure to watch this amazing bird hovering and catching insects! A pro!

Taken at my local nature reserve. A lovely marmalade hoverfly hovering in mid air, deciding which flower to choose! Very obliging to stay 'still' long enough for a few photos.

Terrible light, mediocre snow and one absolutely spectacular turn.

This is the first time I got a decent picture of a hovering dragonfly.

 

Taken in Hugh Ramsey Park - one of my favorite places in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.

  

Hovering is an energy-intensive activity, achieved by beating the wings more or less horizontally – to provide lift but not thrust. The ability to hover for long periods is advantageous when foraging in areas away from a nearby perch. This means that the bird can maximize its time for hunting, rather than returning to a nearby perch to scan the area.

Forster's tern was hovering above the same spot for few minutes allowing me good opportunity the snap a few shots @ Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve

My new EF25 extension tube arrived today so I bolted it onto the 100mm macro and dashed out into the garden between showers.

Sea Holly that is - HMBT!

Another shot from the hummingbird feeder at my parents' backporch. I love how this looks like it is hovering, frozen in midair. They have so many hummingbirds that come to their feeder. It was so much fun watching them and trying to photograph them.

A close up of a hoverfly in flight

One of my favourite archive shots form 2011, That Black headed gull was just hovering over my head it was definitely looking at something but I could not see what but its actions made the shot lucky for me.

This tiny hover fly rested on a leaf long enough for me to take a few photos and pick up it iridescent colors.
