Hummingbird Fun - Woodway, WA

[Terry O]

My office window is very close to our hummingbird feeder - so I usually keep my Canon 5Diii and 400 5.6L at the ready.
I'll start posting these as I get them

My favorite local hummer is, of course, the Rufous although the Annas run a close second (not much choice since those two are essentially all
we get here in Western WA)

Anyone who knows me knows I hate feeder shots, but hey, if that's all I can get than that's all I can get

This female Rufous seemed particularly colorful


The male Rufous is very territorial - although they are small they are fierce!



I'll keep trying for that sans feeder shot!

Good shots. I'm glad you made an exception to your "no man made structures in the photo" policy.

 

[Terry O]

Thanks, Bill. It was a difficult decision!

BTW, I just recently discovered by clicking on the posted picture, that a full version comes up with much better resolution that the large thumbnail in the text. Go figure!

You just now discovered that feature

I probably have used it in the past, but not recently.....embarrassing to admit, so don't rub it int

Male Rufous

Here ya go, Bill another feeder shot....

I tried without success to get his photo airborne - no luck, but I'll keep trying.

Those rufous hummers are very pretty.
