Hovering - Macro Monday

Not a true "Macro" but as close as I could get without a zoom.

Hummingbirds fascinate me. I could watch them for hours.
I was lucky to capture this little guy in hover mode!

    Great photo of the hummer. Confirmed reports indicate the first Ruby-throated Hummingbirds made it across the Gulf of Mexico a few days ago. They are heading north. We must just be patient.

    I rarely see hummingbirds and this week I saw two in in the blogosphere. Excellent capture. Any secrets on attracting them? I had no luck last summer.

    I just learned to shoot them. It took a while before you learned how and when to pull the trigger. You did well with this one.

    Nice shot Karen! I have tried to capture a hummer a few times, but they certainly don't care about posing!

    Great shot! I always try to capture a shot of the ones with the ruby throats-- very hard to do!

    Thanks for the visit!

    I love this shot! It looks like a composition but its a candid shot! The birds around my place stay because of all the fruit trees around us!
