Hummingbird pictures

Finished up with the early soybeans and cotton planting and side dressed the nitrogen on the corn. Had a little time to sit on the front porch and snap a few pictures of the hummingbirds visiting the feeder. Always seems to be one a-hole bird that dive bombs the others that try to feed but have not mastered the autofocus enough to catch that action. Did get a few single bird shots.

Great pics! Thanks!!!
I love hummingbirds. It's literally the one bird that can gain and hold any kids attention as long as they are around.
Cool little creatures.
I didn't notice until later in life how aggressive they are with each other, which kind of made them cooler to me.

Great pics.
Some of the still photos of hummingbirds almost don't look real.

They are definitely fun to watch.
Feathers on birds are pretty incredible on how the colors change with the different angles you view them. Looking at the throat patch you would never think it could appear bright red.

The bright-red throat patch of a male Ruby-throat actually contains no pigmentation. The perceived color is a result of iridescence in the arrangement of their feathers. Just how bright and colorful it appears depends upon light levels, moisture, angle of viewing, and general feather condition.

Those shots are awesome! Mind telling me what camera and lens you use for all your nature shots?

Thanks for the pics, the only HB's we had were month or so ago, then zippo. I guess our stuff is bad.

Same. Short window in NWLA this year. I haven't seen one lately and have changed the water weekly. I'm about to empty them and wait until August/September for the fall push.

That's a great rig. I shoot with the R6 and the 100-500mm zoom. Will upgrade to the R5 when they come out with the mark ii (soon). That 600mm prime is quite a lens.
I had this Black-chinned Hummingbird at my house for a couple of weeks in January. The first really rare one I've had, though I've had a few Rufous. The funny thing is it was at a friend's house before showing up at mine, they are almost 10 miles away.

I got a pic last year of a female sitting on my finger, but lost the dang pic. I had two on my ring finger later that I couldn't get a pic of. It took me a few days of standing closer and closer to one of the feeders. I finally was able to just hold my hand out near the feeder and it landed on my pinky and used it as a perch. It drank for a bit, until the boss male ran it off. Pretty cool experience.

That is a great picture. Be interested to see how the new R5 II works with the auto focus that focuses where you are looking.

Don’t you have some thrips to spray?
Always enjoy your pics and hope you keep posting them.

Awesome pics man.

lol you wouldn’t have to spray anyway if you were farming here. Fricking storms every 5 days, it seems.
I can remember having to count them about 10 years ago. I guess that has come out since then. I made a good bit of money one fall mapping cotton my Freshman year of college. Couple thousand dollars after paying people to write for me. I think I got paid 50 cents a plant.
