Black-chinned Hummingbird and Rocky Mountain Bee Plant – Nikon D300, f5.6, 1/2000, ISO 640, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited
The opposite of cold, gray, windy and rainy is summertime in my mind so I thought that today I would post some thing from a warmer, brighter and calmer day and what could be more summery than a Black-chinned Hummingbird feeding on Rocky Mountain Bee Plant?
This image transports me back to August of last year on Antelope Island when the hummingbirds were migrating through. Blue skies, nice light, a slight breeze and warm temps. Ah.

Hi! Love this photo! Great work always. Keep up the good work!
So beautifully done … I really like the results your aperture achieved … the focus is on exactly the right bits. And he sure is a pretty little guy with the seeming gold coins all over his tiny feathers!!!
absolutely amazing!!! I love hummers….
Simply beautiful. Thank you for this image of a gentler season than either of us are enduring at the moment.
My dreary day is definitely brighter! What a beautiful capture!!! An iridescent jewel in flight….and, as usual, perfect composition! LOVE it!
They truly are effervescent.
Absolutely gorgeous, it’s with feather were shining.
lovely!
Mia, this is a gorgeous shot of the hummingbird.
Beautiful! Start the countdown!
