    Went birding with my camera earlier this month, and saw this hummingbird resting.

    I got rewarded for staking out a bottlebrush plant. Funny thing: there was only enough light to use 1/400 at ISO6400. I usually use 1/2000 for hummingbirds. I would have never imagined this nice result given these settings.

    Anna's hummingbird ~ willows

    I've wondered how hummingbirds get by in the winter, and here is a piece of the puzzle. He was feeding on these willow catkins for a minute, gifting me nice images. I am not sure which species of willow this is, or if it is native to my part of California.

    These tiny but feisty hummingbirds are common in our area throughout the year. This is an adult male hovering near our feeder. The bright iridescent colors vary with light angle often appear black; but when the light hits just right they shine brightly rose-pink as seen here. Anna's Hummingbirds...

    Mature Male — Anna's Hummingbird

    Anna's Hummingbird — From a tripod in my living room through double paned and tinted window to the small tree outside. I discarded many shutter clicks to get this all red, full face, gorget. I think this and a few other Anna’s are staying here for the winter. NX Studio was used to crop, adjust...

    Female — Anna's Hummingbird

    Anna's Hummingbird — This is a companion to my other post today. Different bird, same setup, perched on the same twig. I think this and a few other Anna’s are staying here for the winter. NX Studio was used to crop, adjust levels, and sharpen the image.
