Thanks all! I do have the Nature DVD - "Hummingbirds Magic in the Air." I too with ZooNerd recommend the episode. Some of their clips are what I wish I could accomplish with a camera.
Hummingbirds are one of my favorite animals. They are so cool how they are the only bird who can fly and eat at the same time, fly backwards, and hover like a UFO. Did you Know? that Hummingbirds don't eat nectar alone they also are quite the bug hunter. watch the PBS episode of Nature called magic of the Hummingbird. it's a great documentary. Nice shot. Keep it up.
Dream shot! I can never seen to get one of the male.
Wow! Adorable!
I love that their whole face, and neck strips are purple!
Awesome spotting James!
What a beautiful little creature! Amazing spotting!
