Description
This photo of an Anna's hummingbird is presented because of it's clarity, detail, and the beautiful gorget. Sometimes the head is irridescent in the same way, but in this shot, only the neck shines brightly. The delicate curves in the wing are common in hummingbird photographs, because they make a figure-eight sculling motion, getting lift on both the "downstroke" aand "upstroke.
The feather is missing on his breast because these cute, lovable balls of fluff are really aggressive monsters, continually battling competitors for dominance of good nectar sources. When these guys collide, it's amazing how hard they hit, and that they escape undamaged considering they weigh less than a nickle does.
This bird was photographed at Ash Canyon B&B, run by Mary Jo Ballator. An excellent stop on any birding tour. Day visits are inexpensive. Check about photography policy in advance. (There might be extra charges, depending on your methods.)
