I would like to invite you to post your spottings of hummingbirds in the new mission for Hummingbirds of the New World: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1244396002 :-)
Thanks Reza! There were dozens of hummingbirds flying around everywhere, I was bound to get one to pose for me :)
Of course, Karen. Thanks for asking
Really lovely shot! I'm an amateur painter, looking to turn my hobby into a bit more. Would you mind if I painted this little beauty for personal use and possibly sale?
Thanks guys! Hummingbirds are always beautiful little birds :)
Beautiful capture Ashley! Quite a stunning little bird. Thank you for sharing :)
