Birth of a Hummingbird

The fall soccer season is well underway and the Hummingbirds soccer team is kicking everything in sight. The hummingbirds in these two series of photos are much quicker, considerably smaller and certainly cute.

A friend sent me this link since I manage the Hummingbirds soccer team. Hopefully, the person who posted these shots of baby hummingbirds will leave them up for awhile.

My husband told me about this page at Nature Photography with other truly incredible hummingbird photos. There are some great photos of hummingbirds in mid flight plus some pics of hummingbirds sitting quietly at bird feeders. Incredible!

Still, I find…

Thank your husband for the link. I have been trying to get pictures of hummers this summer with only limited success so far...these days they are migrating through Kansas and I had a great chance at a shot of one on some Orchid Bean plants. Of course the camera was not in reach.
