I have been watching for the other hummingbirds that we have had in the past. Alas, nothing but the Rufous Hummingbird photographed so far.
But, to my surprise, today I got a nice shot of the rufous male. Its gorget is glowing, its tail is spread, and (a first) its beak is also spread. All of this is against a dark background. So, I am posting it.
Well Alistair, for this one maybe you could re-consisder your tendency of not submitting to photo contests! Just sayin’.
BEAUTY !!!!!!!
He would make a perfect Christmas Tree ornament.
Immortalized looking wonderful in a split-second moment of time!
Lucky bird!
beautiful photo Alistair! I really like this one!
All I can say is… WOW. Stunning.
Amazing shot. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the speckles on top of their head before.
