Bird on a Chair by

Female Rufous Hummingbird resting on a plastic outside deck chair next to one of our flower pots. Not the best composition or lighting but I have never seen one of these little critters land on a surface like this so I had to take the picture. Image captured at Vaughn Bay, Washington.

About Bryan Peterson

My photographs are not always technically correct, I tend to break the rules but I do that knowing what the rules are and having a reason to do so. My photographic images are what and how I see the world around me in my minds eye—they are who I am.

    I have never seen one that was not flying. Great catch, your fast on the draw.

  • Thanks Paul, she actually sat there long enough for me to run into the house for my camera and shoot a couple of shots.

    Great again.

  • This is the first time I have ever seen a hummingbird land on anything other than a branch or perch on a feeder and was lucky enough to capture the moment. Thanks Meeli.
