This was taken last summer.... I was so close, I could have reached out and literally grabbed him! I stood in the same spot slightly hidden by a Rose of bush for about an hour, watching as he flew back and forth and then not seeing him for a while. Finally, I was able to get this "hurried" shot before the light was all gone Sorry it's a little blurry. ( photo / image / picture from Bluewing0's Garden )
Great capture...they are so quick. The only time I got one was by accident. It darted in when I was taking pictures of my garden
Thank you everyone for your nice comments! Yes, the shot was worth waiting for, even though my arms where getting pretty tired at times from holding the camera up to my eye like a statue so I wouldn't miss a decent close-up It's a female? I just assumed it was a male for some reason. I guess they can be told apart by their colors? A total of 3 hummingbirds come to that feeder and you should see the fighting that goes on! Very amusing little things to watch
