I’m still on a personal quest to take a personal best, if not perfect, photo of a hummingbird. I’m not there yet.
But we’ve got a few more temporary residents this year so I hope I’ll have another shot. By our best count we think we’ve got three immature male Ruby Throats and one mature male.
I captured this bird as he looked over a feeder.
The territorial little birds chase each other away from the feeders, despite the fact that we have three feeders and enough nectar, both from blooming flowers and bird feeders.
A mature male Ruby Throat sat in a tree near a feeder and surveyed the nearby sky.

I have been learning about and developing articles on the subject of hummingbirds for athe past year or or so. I opperate two websites on the subject of hummingbirds.

I am longing to get, someday, a better lens camera to shoot more hummingbirds this summer. I have several shots of these visitors to the feeders in our backyard. They sure are territorial!
