My 1st hummingbird

It's raining hard here in Michigan and it's chilly too. I was at the window looking at my two empty bird feeder when all of a sudden I saw something flying so fast. I thought it was a bird trying to avoid me. Then I shifted my watchful eyes to my two hummingbird feeder and there it was my first hummingbird this year!! It lifted my spirit in this cold, gloomy and rainy day. Take a look!

This hummingbird is so pretty it made my day!!

Linking this post to MACRO MONDAY
and World Bird Wednesday

One Photo said...: I have to go and get a new hummingbird feeder, I have not put one out this year. We only get those really tiny little brown non-colorful ones here but I still love them. I have never taken a photo of a hummingbird.

Your photo is absolutely beautiful, I just love it.; May 15, 2011 at 9:36 PM

Anonymous said...: Great catch! In video or on camera I find hummingbirds to be some of the most difficult birds to capture. I love the spot of white at his throat and how clear his eye is. Looking at you!; May 16, 2011 at 11:27 AM
