This is a female Anna Hummingbird. I was on my walk and there she was...very busy.I used a Nikon D50 SLR, lens 70-300mm, hand held. I have many photos of Hummers on my feeders but really like to catch them in nature. F/5.6 Exp 1/1000

Stretching

My name is Lynda Sanders and I live in Walnut, California, USA.
This is a female Anna's Hummingbird or a juvenile male and it is resting on a branch near the feeder. They were so busy itching and preening they paid no attention to me and I felt good about getting this photo.
I used a Nikon-D-50 SLR with a 70-300 mm lens hand held.
Hummers are so fascinating and in Southern Ca. we have a lot of variety.

This is a Male Allen Hummingbird sitting near my feeder. These birds are colorful, fast and feisty. Notice his tongue is sticking out. This shot was taken with a Nikon D50, SLR with a 70-300 mm lens. Enjoy

Keeping Watch Over The Feeder

This is a Male Allen Hummingbird. They are very aggressive, small and beautiful. This one is perched on a potted plant in my yard watching the feeder to chase anyone away. I enjoy photos of Hummers perching. You would be surprised it isn't hard to get a shot. You need to have patience and observe them after they leave the feeder. They usually don't go to far.This was taken with a Nikon D50 SLR with a 70-300 lens. F/5.6 1/1000 exp. Living in Southern California has it's advantage because we have Anna's, Allen's, Black-chinned, Costa's and an occasional Rufous how great is that!

May I Join You?

I was visiting friends in the high desert and her hummingbird feeders were very busy. There was so much activity it was hard to get a clear photo. Out of about 15 photos I was able to use two. These are Anna Hummingbirds.
I used a Nikon D50 SLR with a 28-200 lens, hand held. I was not using my longer lens with vibration reduction that is why I had a hard time getting crisp shots.
