A hummingbird sitting still..... I have a feeder sitting outside my dining room window, the activity there has picked up quite a bit the last couple of weeks, so I decided to sit with my camera and wait. I happen to notice this female Ruby-Throat taking a break.... this particular image was shot through double paned glass..... not particularly happy with it.... but still tickled to have gotten the shot at all.....

Darn you....I tried today for awhile at a house I was working on.They had a feeder with a few of these hanging around.Course till I went and got camera. Don;t think I have seen one sitting idle though. Perfect!

i would be tickled too! he's in focus, nice dof & your windows are too dang clean! :P naaaa :]

LMAO@Cyn!!! And yea, considering the circumstances, it's a god damn cool shot!!!

I definitely like it..never seen a shoot of birds like this one...It's full of colors and the little bird is really in focus! It's like if he is the king watching over his kingdom ;-) Really beautifull pic!

Very pretty bird and nice shot. :-)

On my monitor it looks like actual size too.

very cool shot.. we found one on our poarch he had slamed into the wall and we nursed him to health but yes i was suprised to find one still as well awesome shot you should post!

kimmers ♥ :O)

There nothin' NOT to like about this capture Chelle! Even shot thru that window of yours (SQUEAKY CLEAN I must add)... you did it! These li'l birds are HYPER-ACTIVE as all get out! Normally you can't get a "bead" on them because they are so fast and zippy! You caught one in a RARE moment of DOWN TIME!

Very neat...very fortunate for all!

Nice capture, and yes you don't see these guys sitting very often.

An awsome rare find...nice! :)

For shooting though 2 panes of glass great shot!

Eggiwegs! I would like... to smash them!

Amazing! i never saw a hummingbird sitting still. Incredible! Your photo is fantastic! pretty tuff shooting conditions, girl, but you did a fabulous job!

I love humming birds! You caught a great shot of a very pretty one. I have humming birds living in my bottle brush bush in the back. I alwyas see them, but never capture them with the camera. Here is the only shot I have of a humming bird. The top is the whole shot, the bottom is the same shot, but cropped to show the little bugger. Every time I go out to take pics of them, they buzz (or hum) around me but never stay in sight for long. My camer has a big delayed focus so it's almost impossible. You did a GREAT job! And I agree....your window is WAY too clean! ;)
