Broad-tailed Hummingbird

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Really nice Cal! Yes, hummingbird shots are very hard and require a lot of patience. I also end up keeping about one shot for every 10-20 I take, so digital has been great.

Re: What is this?

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Actually guys, I think this is a real bird, just a poor photo. Looks like a male cardinal with a mite infection or similar skin infection that results in it losing all the feathers on its head. The skin is black, so it makes for an odd-looking bird.

Nice shot, Ty. The motion shots are some of the toughest to catch with the hummers.

Nice. Having shot many of these in AZ in June, I know how hard it is to get that purple gorget to show.

This is the promised crop of just the head of one beetle. The macro lens has wonderful image scale.
