Everyday this little guy sat on the end of this Bird of Paradise leaf in my yard “guarding” his hummingbird feeder. They are very territorial. I set up the camera and used the wireless from inside the house to capture this shot.
For my dear friend Teresa, hope he makes you feel just a little better :-)

Image shot with a Canon 50D at 170mm focal len (70-200mm L lens) f/5.6, 1/15, ISO 200.

    Oh Ann, you captured something so special in this little hummer. Instant Fav! It was another dry year for me. If the hummers came, I totally missed them. Instant Fav! Babs
