Don't Mess With Me!
Posted By: ToddK, 05-17-2020, 01:51 PM

A male Anna's Hummingbird in his intimidating pose while he defends his feeder. The pour guy gets pretty frazzled because he tries to keep other hummingbirds away from two feeders that are about 20 feet apart. By the end of the day he has probably flown ten miles

This is proof that the dreaded repetitive bird-on-a-stick type of wildlife shot needn't be boring. You have captured a decisive moment with intriguing behaviour, the framing, the colours, the bokeh - all just beautiful. That one may well win you a top-five entry in a contest, Todd.

Thank you for your wonderful comment! I have always considered this image as my favorite hummingbird photo even though I have taken many of them in flight. I just love the pose that he gave me.
