Thanks, Dez (and all those who commented so long ago!)
Stunning spot Maria!!
Wow! I think this is the first time I'm seeing a photo of a hummingbird that's not flying. :)
Beautiful
Lovely wonderful shot
Thanks for the nice comments! I felt lucky to get this photo
Beautiful bird and beautifully photographed even !
They are lovely birds but it's strange seeing one at rest - probably needs it !. It's good to see one this close and all the details - well done !
Wow!
You have captured the beak and eyelids of this bird very beautifully!
@nopay,Did you delete your Cedar Waxwing spotting?i just removed it from the Project Squirrel Mission. i thought you were trying to do that?
Amazing shot! (Looks like she's humming to herself.)
Such Hard Work!
Nice shot, what a lovely eye,,
