I was glad to catch this female Ruby Throated Hummingbird in a sitted position. There is probably about ten hummingbirds all chasing each other around. Crazy trying to get a pic of them zooming around. Alright I have been challenged, more pics to follow eventually.

I know what it's like trying to catch them flying....a person could get dizzy!! I like the square frame, and the fact the bird isn't quite in the center of the photo...adds interest. Nice work, Debra.

Beautiful capture and how fortunate you were that she took a momentary pause from all the activity to pose for you. I love the ruffled look of her feathers and the detail you caught of her markings.. not to mention the eye contact. So well done!

Terrific shot Debra. I like the framing you choose for the little one and the backing leaves make for a very nice compo. Well done
