p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The Most Handsome Ruby Throated Hummingbird

The number of hummingbirds so far this year is so very low it is worrisome.

I do have one very handsome male who has hung around and graces my garden from time to time . I must say he is one of the prettiest males I have seen .
Since there are no other hummers around, he is very stealth , no calls, no noise, nothing. If you don't happen to be looking where he may feed , well you are out of luck. He does not linger , hits and is gone in a couple of seconds.

As always, your nits and comments are most appreciated.

Thank you for looking and I hope you find something to enjoy.

All shots are of the same bird . All different lighting, conditions and time of day.

Birdie

1, 5, 6 and 7 are my favorites Roberta. I wish I could capture humming birds the way you do.

I found a place near our home and I hope I can share a few this summer

Beautiful shots. Hummingbirds & flowers are such a great combination. We are seeing one or two but usually don’t get many until August. I am hoping to start getting some pics soon.

There's hummingbird shots, and then there's "Birdied hummingbird shots". I can spot yours a mile away

I love, love, love the first one !

Another beautiful set of images!

Your hummer photographs are always beautiful. Rich colors, natural settings and soft light, sometimes a bit darker than usual. A beautiful photographic style.
And interesting. I believe it's true that you don't use feeders to attract and concentrate hummers, other than the plants you select for your yard. I always admire your ability to anticipate the bird and get into position to get the shot.

Thank you Gordon. I always wonder how a shot that part of the bird is obstructed will be received.

Glad you like it. Just a lucky time that he landed fairly close to where I was sitting.
