Hummingbird!

I got some cool pictures and video of a hummingbird preening today:



I love the last photo where his tongue is sticking out! XD

Ahahahaha, tongue! I wouldn't have noticed that if you hadn't pointed it out. These are lovely photos. I especially like the spread wing. Thank you for sharing.

You're welcome! I was really happy to get them. :)

Thank you so much for sharing these!!!

Particularly love the flash of red iridescence in the neck feathers.

Isn't it pretty? :D I kept hoping it would flash while I was filming. In the days since I took those, he comes back every day and then goes to sit almost in the same spot after he feeds, it's so cool! :D

These are wonderful. It's so rare for me to see them being still.

They seem to do it every day here now! I made another video a couple of days ago and posted it on my journal -- this one was a female hummie, with a red-eyed vireo showing up at the end. :) http://haruka.dreamwidth.org/254138.html
