p.1 #1 · ~~20 Ruby Throated Hummingbirds~~

Congratulations to Ted ellis for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 15 votes - View Previous Winners

Hummingbird activity at my home has drastically reduced over the last 3-5 years. I do not know why nor do I have a valid theory for the reduction of activity. I have always been an early morning rising sun shooter. Not uncommon to wait 1-2 hours for activity to begin.

The actors guild is on strike. You need to pay your actors better Ted.

This is a great set of images collected over the season Ted. At least some are still coming. I hope some continue to visit your area.

Voted. Ted, you do such a beautiful job with these, I really think you should visit SE AZ, where you can see a variety of hummingbird species, as well as many other birds not seen elsewhere in the U.S.

Very nice. Numbers 3, 8, and 14 are my favorites due to the composition, pose, and background.
