I took this photo of this Ruby-throated Hummingbird back in August while it was guarding a feeder.

Beautiful! I fell in love with hummingbirds after moving to California from the East Coast where I’d never seen any. And when I had a feeder I learned just how territorial — not to mention demanding! — they can be. Your photos are gorgeous as always.

beautiful shots Steve! What materials do you use?

Hey Chris,
You asked what materials. I’m not sure what you are asking. The hummingbirds are going to a feeder but I try to do my best to photograph them away from any man made stuff.

Beautiful catch Steve! I thought for the sure the hummers were gone from this area but I saw one the other day going from Canna to Canna in the backyard.

Beautiful, as always. I was thinking about getting a hummingbird feeder but I have trouble keeping up with my regular bird feeder. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Beautiful photos of beautiful birds.
