Evening Hummingbirds

Thanks Gail for the heads-up and invite to come see the Anna’s and Rufous Hummingbirds. I hope to return soon and perhaps bring some light; these were shot in the quickly fading dusk at unfortunately high ISO (“film speed’ in the old days where 400 was a high speed film) I started at 6400 and quickly went to 128 000.

Quite an amazing sight and sound as these tiny birds flash around!

    Amazing little birds. I like watching them flying about. It surprises me they’d tolerate each other’s presence.

      Yes, there were two feeding from one “whole’ and it seemed to work. On the other hand there were some high speed skirmishes…
