Nature Head On

Head On · **1 Like**

I've taken a lot of hummingbird photos over the years, but this is the only one I have gotten of the bird coming directly at me. The photo was taken at dusk as the bird was heading towards a feeder for that last drink of the day.

these little guys can sure maneuver for sure, makes a person a bit nervous if you get too close when they are feeding.
