Today we have “Eight ways of looking at a hummingbird,” a series of photos by Steve Adams. Steve’s captions are indented, and you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them.
Here are a few photos of some Ruby-throated Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) that have been frequenting our feeder this Spring. They have been such a joy to watch and photograph! Thanks again for showcasing these photographs. It always makes my day to see what others have been capturing with their cameras.
Nice photos of one of my favorite birds! Thanks Steve.
Wow, both a male and a female. I haven’t seen our females yet.
You got a couple great pics showing the “ruby” throat. It takes great patience to see the red even though they frequently sit for a bit. Its all in the light😊
I have been putting out two hummingbird feeders for the last several years. I might see as many as two or three birds at a time, but I have never once seen a male at a feeder. I am constantly puzzled by this.
Lovely photos, Steve. I find that the tiniest dinosaurs are among the most fascinating.
Excellent photos. This spring, I’ve seen my first male Anna’s hummingbird. Such beautiful birds. Nice catch of the tongue in that last photo!
Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I appreciate them.
