Here are some different shots of different birds that I wanted to share

#1 Female Rufous Hummingbird, she suprised me because I was waiting for the male and she suddenly showed up very close to me :)

#3 Went to the pond hoping to see the osprey, but found these lover birds (canvassbacks) instead :)

Very good series Jo, my favourite is your 1st shot with the rarely seen perched Hummingbird, beautiful shot and composition.

What a great set of images, Jo. I LOVE the she-hummer shots. You photographed her beautifully.

Excellent series and variety Jo... the IQ is stellar in each image, I especially like the light & composition in the first shot and the hen flier.

Thanks Levina, really appreciate your nice and kind comments everytime :). Unfortunately for the she-hummer her man is mean, he chases her away from the feeder all the time.

Joe! This is a fine series full of color, excellent IQ and composition, but you started out with the prize. She is beautiful. Take a bow on the first one.
