Hummingbird

Hummingbird · 01:20 AM

There's a bushy area with some flowers right in front of my house where I frequently see some hummingbirds. Today, I was able to sneak up on them (about 3ft away, hiding behind a bush) and snap a few photos. These little guys are insanely quick! Too bad it wasn't sunny and the plummage wasn't too colorful, but I was still happy with my first shots of these guys.

I think that's some pollen on it's beak

Very nice! #2 especially, an unusual perspective, very nice.

Thanks everyone

Usually when the weather is nice, I only see one hovering around for a couple seconds before taking off. This day I was lucky since there were two and they were perching on the branches for quite a bit; long enough for me to sneak up on them. Hopefully I'll get a chance again to capture these guys
