Hi, Judy – I am so impressed with this little one, AND your ability to take a picture of him. Even if he is there for banding, however did you (or they) get him to “stand still”? – Pat

So cute and wonderful, Judy.

Wow!
How could you do that?
Great job!

I have picked up many a humming bird after they have crashed into my glass windows. I hear the distinctive soft thump and run outside to rescue the tiny creatures before my pet animals realize what has happened. I set them on a fence cross beam and they always awake and after a stagger or two fly away, free again…

How beautiful!!!

beautiful capture!

Oh, what a jewel this is!! Gorgeous! Fave for me.
