Hummingbird
Filed in Blog, Daily Photo
I went on a walk at the Cosumnes River Preserve about a month ago. Then I came back to the visitor center to watch the hummingbirds. Just as I lined up a shot of one sipping at the feeder, another dive bombed it and this is what was in my shot as I clicked the shutter.
I got really, really lucky. :)

Wow, you are very lucky to have gotten this picture. Hummingbirds are so beautiful and it is so neat to watch them “hover”. I used to have a feeder on my patio and they’d come right up to the window.

As an amateur photographer, (yes, I like to remember my trips too) I can appreciate this picture of the humming bird, because I can see the wings pretty clearly in the photograph.
The pictures I’ve taken have more or less always shown the wings as a blur.
Great picture of a beautiful little creature. Dave
