Archilochus colubris again... - a photo on Flickriver

Archilochus colubris again...

            Good morning everyone. You guessed it. Wednesday again so you get yet another pic of Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris).  Sorry about that. 

The only difference this time is it's a pic of one perched versus feeding on flowers. It might seem strange, but I find it easier to photograph hummingbirds feeding than perched. They tend to be less wary while feeding than when perched. Thus you can get a lot closer to them. When perched they will let you get to within a certain distance before spooking and flying away. Which in my case is about four times the distance than when feeding.

I also included a short 10 second video, which can be found in my stream just prior to the above photo. It's of the same bird as seen above and perched in the same exact spot. It will also give you a good idea of how much I cropped the above pic. 

Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.
