Some more shots from "Winter Extreme", as one of our networks named it. They never named storms in LV. Oh well. Anyway, this little guy is almost a pet, though his selfish habit of running all the other hummers off is kind of annoying. At one time we had a hummer dog fight of six birds last week.

Here's the pics!

Very nice pictures of a nice birdie. I had no idea one could find them in WA state in winter ? What on earth do they feed on ?

Really really enjoy the humid set Doug! Don't see much of Hummingbird together with snow. Love the natural light images and the last pose with the hat is totally awesome.

I would never have expected hummers to survive in such weather. What the heck are they eating to stay alive? A nice looking set!

Great pics of this flying jewel, Doug! Yeah, they're pretty territorial, which is why my parents put down their feeder -- they thought he was being too aggressive! Sorry to hear about the bad weather in WA, it'll be 80 degrees and clear today and for the next few days here in LaLaLand.

Best wishes,
Steve

Really nice work Doug!!! At least your hummer poses, ours just eats and zips away Really nice sharp shots and well executed. I really like the comp of 2, maybe clone out the upper right corner The last one is a hoot,way too cute!
