Red-throated hummingbird on butterfly bush and on a feeder. Notice the bird’s long tongue extended beyond the beak.

Thank you, Prad. I had to share my little friends.

i like it .

Love it. One of my favorite birds. I have two hummingbird feeders and I love watching them as they come and get their treats. I’ve been trying to capture photos of my little friends, but they are too quick and get away.
-
They certainly are quick, Dawna. Occasionally, they sit and rest, but never for too long.
-
-
Oh, so lovely!
-
Thank you, Dorothy. These little birds are fascinating to watch.
-
I never seem to be able to find a camera before they are gone.
-
Happy Sunday, Dorothy. I work outside, weather permitting, with my camera next to me.
-
Always prepared!

Once a girl scout, always a girl scout. 🙂

Thank you, Stephanie. I am enjoying photography nearly as much as writing these days.
These are beautiful, you’re a great photographer.
-
Thank you, Pooja. I used to think of myself as a writer who takes photo. I’m getting more confident in my photography. It’s just been practice over time. Have a good weekend.
-
Your pictures are definitely really good. You can make a profession out of it if you like. Have a good weekend too.
-
Beautiful hummingbird Your photography is very wonderful. I wish you good luck, happiness and success

Thank you, and welcome to Midwest Mary. So good to see you.
-
Thank you so much.
-
What beautiful photos! They are so quick, but you were able to get amazing shots. Well done! 🙏🏼😊
-
Thank you, Phoebe. I spend a lot of time watching and waiting.
Wow, those are some pretty amazing photos. What kind of camera are you using?
-
The first one was taken last summer with a Panasonic. The one in flight was with my Nikon 950. I prefer Nikons and have had a few through the years. I’ve taken hundreds of photos of the hummingbirds. Eventually, I get the show I want. The hummingbirds don’t like the camera, so I sit back and zoom in.
-
Thank you. Worth the wait; those were perfect.
-
Love hummingbird visits! Thank you for sharing yours. 🌼
-
Hummingbirds are so intriguing. Thank you for visiting, Michele.
Absolutely beautiful photos Mary! Catching birds certainly is hard!
-
Thank you, Laura. I wait and watch and take tons of photos.
Nice photos.
-
Thank you, Joseph. Have a good weekend.
This bird looks interesting, you have had exceptionally sharp and clear photos.
-
Thank you, Jean. It’s just patience and lots of photos to get the one.
-
I believe this, I know couple of nature photographers, you have succeeded very well. When it comes to this bird it is very small, isn’t it. Really cute and beautiful too🐥
-
Hummingbirds are only about 3-5 inches in length and weigh about 2-20 grams. They are so cute, Jean.
-
Yes they are 😊 Are they migration birds or do they stay over the winter there? Have a great new week Mary and stay well!
-
They do migrate. These little ones fly to Mexico with few to no stops along the way. I hope your week is productive and happy, Jean.
-
They go really faraway though they are so small, thank you Mary🌺

-
-
Wow! What lovely photos Mary.🥰
-
Thank you, Arlene. I love watching these little ones.

Are you referring to the hummingbird’s long tongue, Cindy? It’s like a straw for them. Nature is so amazing, isn’t it?
nice
-
Thank you. All the best to you.
I’m so impressed with your humming bird photos. I tried to take a picture of a red throated humming bird the other day, and all I got was a bunch of blurry photos. Is there a trick to capturing their magnificence?
-
It’s a combination of a decent camera, lots of patience, and lots of shooting. Also, how you focus is important. If you keep shooting, Rachel, eventually you will have some good shots.
-
Thanks Mary! Maybe I’ll try using my camera instead of my phone next time. Great suggestions 🥰
-
Let me know if it works for you.
-
-
Beautiful shots, Mary!

Beautiful photo captures of Hummingbirds! Thanks for sharing with us, Mary!

[…] Last Friday’s hummingbird photos raised a few questions about the magnificent, little ones, so I wrote a poem in response to those inquiries. You will find the poem after the second photo. […]
A great shot: clearly captured, delicate, and cute 🙂

Ah, thank you. I appreciate your feedback.
Perfect thank you for sharing. I love butterfly bushes.
