Ruby-throated hummingbird
Hummingbirds have been hanging around my garden lately but every time I try to capture them with my camera, they disappear. I took these photos on the first of September and have been waiting ever since to get better ones. Ha! Soon they'll be gone, headed for the Deep South and beyond.
Heading towards Physotegia in a side garden
There are still plenty of blossoms full of nectar, but two acted as if there was only enough for one. I suspect they were squabbling siblings.
Hiding?

ReplyDeleteNice captures!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteLovely. We don't see hummingbirds in the wild here, so I think you are lucky! ;)
ReplyDeleteNice shots! Mine have disappeared.
ReplyDeleteDon't know the words? Just hum. I do a lot. hahahaha
ReplyDeletesweet little buzzers.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images!!! So much better than I could do!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have done a wonderful job of capturing this hard to photograph little bird.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty and such a delight to see. I don't have any now but used to get one or two every evening in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThe colours are sooooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty hummingbird. Nice shots. See those tiny feet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hummingbirds photos!

Marvellous captures EG! I have one buzzing around my yard, but never long enought to get a pic!
ReplyDeleteThe photos you got earlier are great!! The hummers are probably sensing an urgency to get going, and that's why they don't take time for the camera!!
ReplyDeletehow amazing to have such beautiful visitors to your garden - I especially like picture 3 - Jane uk
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots of the gorgeous hummingbirds.
ReplyDeletePretty shots.
ReplyDeleteNo small feat, getting these pix! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOne word, STUNNING.
ReplyDeleteI've seen them just a few times this summer -- didn't even attempt to capture them. I think you did well.
ReplyDeleteThese are great captures CG. They were busy here today again.
ReplyDeleteThey are so jewel-like!!
ReplyDeleteWhat delicate creatures they are!
ReplyDeleteI had two squabbling hammers in the yard earlier this summer, dive-bombing each other.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures.
ReplyDeletewow! great snaps
ReplyDeletethanks
Excellent shots. I hope you see more Hummers. We took our Hummingbird feeders down because no one was showing up anymore and then today one came right up to me and looked so sad. I rushed right in and fixed up a feeder so now I hope they come back. MB
ReplyDeleteYou worked some camera magic.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent!
I think the pic with the wings almost still is amazing. Mine are almost always blurred out. We have them on our butterfly bushes, but they are so quick it is almost impossible to get a good shot.
ReplyDeleteThey dart so fast, you got some good shots.

Lovely photos ...glad you shared (I'd be so happy to get some this good).
ReplyDeleteW've had them here in Illinois the past few weeks, but yesterday it turned cold and none came to the feeder.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots...specially that last!
