I captured this male rufous hummingbird using a D300 with a 600mm lens attached. He visited me for a day on his migration north. I managed to make a few good pictures of him.

These little guys are just as fast as a hummingbird and almost as large. They also look similar to bumblebees. It was a bit of a challenge to get a decent photo of one. I hope to try again soon to see if I can shoot in a little better lighting condition. This photo was taken about three miles north of Newport, which is about 30 miles north of Harrisburg.

This image placed 6th in the Birds challenge on May 15, 2009. My name for these little ruby-throated hummingbirds is “Flying Piglets”. They congregate at our feeders in swarms – no way you could count them. We never could afford to buy the hummingbird food sold in the stores. Every summer we use 100+ pounds of sugar and make an average of 8-12 cups of sugar-water per day to feed the crew. Around this time of the year I’m usually found pointing toward the south as the flying piglets zip to and fro around my head. I’m more than ready for them to head to the next feeding resort somewhere in Mexico or South America! Thank you for stopping by to comment on this image. I don’t normally respond with individual thank-you comments due to time constraints (slow dial-up speed). I prefer to spend my limited time on RB by commenting on your work instead.

I got a kick out of this little hummingbird as he sat on a branch guarding the nectar feeder. He looked scruffy and gruff, like he had gotten up on the wrong side of the bed and was in a bad mood. Maybe he just wasn’t happy that the papparazzia had invaded his space. Whatever the case, I named him Mr. Scruffy. “Don’t mess with me,” he seems to be saying.

Female Rufous Hummingbird feeding on a horsemint flower. I was standing in a meadow (Hummingbird Meadow) near Crater Lake Oregon and to get this and other hummingbird shots I had to stand very still with the camera at about eye level for several hours. I could not use a tipod due to their speed and movement. / They would not come near me for about an half an hour then they where all around me and I could shoot but not move to much. / At the end of the day my arms felt like I had been working out from holding the canon 20d and 100-400 IS lens.

This Green Violetears Hummingbird was either fiercely guarding his corner of the flower patch or was overly curious. I’ve never been able to get this close to one of these guys before. Taken in the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Gardens of Bogotá, Colombia. / / /

This little hummingbird has been nesting around my house. She is there every morning. I was taking shot of an eagle this morning and she was flying back and forth beside me as if to say “Why are you not taking pictures of me?” So I had too.

And it’s voice is a bird: / It glitters half-guessed half seen half-heard / Above the flower bed. Over the lawn … / A flashing dip and it is gone. / And all it lends to the eye is this— / A sunbeam giving the air a kiss. /

Featured in the Woman Photographer Group – Thank You / / / This is my beautiful old classic Gibson Hummingbird guitar. It has six steel strings and it was the first guitar that I bought myself ( I started learning to play when I was 10 years old). It is now a classic ,and on pulling it out of its case I once again admired the craftmanship that went into making this beautiful instrument. I haven’t played it for many years, but my son is learning to play and I have happily handed it over to the next generation. He’s a lucky boy to have such a lovely guitar! In order to take these photographs I had to remove a very 70’s flower power style neck strap LOL!! Canon 40D with Canon 50mm lens at f/4 Since its release in the 1960’s, the Hummingbird has been luring guitar lovers with its sweet, velvet tone and distinctive appearance. This celebrity guitar, equally loved by blues, country, folk, and rock players, has become a symbol of the passionate ‘60s and has also earned its place in the heart-throbbing music of today. True to its original design, the Early ‘60s Hummingbird is handmade with a carefully applied Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, and its authentic Gibson Hummingbird pickguard. It’s honey-like tone is attributed to its Sitka Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, 24-3/4” scale length, and its traditional construction design with includes a dovetail neck-to-body joint, scalloped bracing, and lacquer finish.

This ruby throated female was hanging in the air over our feeder. She seemed to be waiting for the right moment to begin drinking. Her tongue was already out as she anticiapted her feast….I think….Taken from inside my “bird blind” window. The reddish cast on her underside seems to be a reflection of the red feeder directly below her. Canon 40D / 400mm / F: 5.6 / Shutter: 1/500 / ISO 640 / Tripod

Featured in Top Shelf Wildlife & Nature Art August 1, 2009. I have spent countless hours the past 3 summers trying to capture photographs of the ruby-throated hummingbirds that visit my property each year. This particular image is one of my favorites. I loved the way this female (whom I call Ruby) was perched on this branch, with both wings spread, looking down at the ant approaching her little foot. / —-—-—-—-—-—-——- / Camera & Location Details / Canon EOS Rebel XTi with 100-400mm (at 310mm) f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. SS 1/800, AP Mode, f/8.0 ISO 200. Photo taken on my property in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada / Flat Black Frame & Bright White Matting / / Ruby-Throated Hummingbird info. courtesy of Wikipedia / The Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), is a small hummingbird. It is the only species of hummingbird that regularly nests east of the Mississippi River in North America. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are solitary. Adults of this species typically only come into contact for the purpose of mating, and both males and females of any age aggressively defend feeding locations within their territory. The aggressiveness becomes most pronounced in late summer to early fall as they fatten up for migration. This is important because, as part of their migration, they fly non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of at least 500 miles. They feed frequently while active during the day and when temperatures drop, particularly on cold nights, they may conserve energy by entering hypothermic torpor. Due to their small size, they are vulnerable to insect-eating birds and animals. Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, blade-like wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects. During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/s, 61x/s when moving backwards, and at least 75x/s when moving forward. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—- / Bird Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST

This is so exciting. I was just in my backyard trying different techniques with my camera and this guy started to feed. So, I just started clicking hoping to get a good shot, and this is what can up. Sometimes the best shots are accidents. / / Hope you like! Add me to your watch list now / My Bubblesite / Copyright © by Lenz Photo Shop, All Rights Reserved.
