Female Anna Hummingbird ~ Swan Lake Find

I had a very successful day out at Swan Lake the other day....so many little birds I captured. This little female Anna Hummingbird for one was hiding in one of the trees. I heard her singing away and crept as close as I could to her without frightening her away. I got really close as you can see in these shots. What I'm not happy about is the background it's very bright with the sun coming through the leaves of the tree...but what can you do. I caught her stretching and fluffing out her feathers as well...I really enjoyed my time this close to her. It was great!!!.

My Yard Hummingbirds ~ Ahhhh refreshing Nectar

Well I would like to say at last I thing I have accomplished the best from my camera without owning an SLR. I have taken alot of time trying to capture these fast moving sweet wonderful birds for a very long time. Plus I have promised all of you better action shots of my Yard Hummingbirds. Having a leg that is driving me crazy...it is still so sore I practically drag it behind me where ever I go. I'm truly not use to being house bound at all and not being able to go hiking in our wonderful weather is truly getting me down. On the plus side I've read four books already since last week Thursday and I've enjoyed my backyard alot more that I thought I would. But I'm going stir crazy and can hardly wait for my leg to fully heal. John I want to contribute this post for you!! I know how much you love the pictures :)
