I’m just an average working class guy with a camera… and not enough time to enjoy it.

    Well you finally got a good one after it drove you crazy. I love hummingbirds. I found an injured one awhile back and picked it up. It was shaking but I couldn’t see any injury, no bleeding or anything. So I stroked it, talked to it and it calmed down, then all of the sudden flew out of my hand and awaaaaayyyy……:)

  • Thanks Sharon, that’s a sweet story :-)

    This is excellent! Well done for catching him mid-flight! I’ve seen lots of hummingbirds in Jamaica but they’ve always been too fast for me!

  • Thanks Merissa, One time I had the camera and one flew right up to me and hovered right in front of me and I just could not move until he flew off… Have a Great Day!
