Reading on my back patio today and snapped a few pictures as this hummingbird visited our garden.

First time capturing a hummingbird blinking.

I needed to do a search to find out if they blinked since I assumed that was what it was doing but had never seen or heard of a hummingbird blinking before. I read they blink even faster than they beat their wings. At 1/1600 I'm surprised I caught it.

I learn something new every day. Too bad I forget twice as much.
