RE: Daily Bird Photos - No. 12 ~ Anna's Hummingbirds ~
Remarkable photos @keithboone I am captivated by these adorable little birds and if I had them in my yard, I wouldn't get any work done. (lol) Taking them with me.
Thank you, Trudee! We do indeed spend some time watching the hummingbirds. I will see them come down to the feeder over and over... then I'll run inside to get my camera and they will disappear for hours. On occasion, I've had them swoop in and hover in front of me at eye level, just out of arm's reach. Their little wings beating so quickly make a delightful sound when they come close. I appreciate the share, Trudee, thanks again!
It must be a real treat to have the hummingbirds come so close Keith. And we are very lucky to get a close look at them here. You have great skill with your bird photography.
Well thank you, I don't know if it's skill or simply persistence. I take a lot of bird photos and keep very few. I enjoy shooting birds in flight, but at least 95% of the shots go straight into the trash can.
I think it is a bit of both Keith. Getting good bird shots can be frustrating as you never know when they are going to take off.....and therein lies the challenge. Very rewarding when you get the results you do I'm sure.
