My little friends have become familiar with me! They have accepted me into their flight zone! A great honour for me personally!
The hardest thing was holding my camera in my right hand (with flash attached) for so long! I soon realized if I adjusted my Mono Pod at just the right eighth for my elbow,that I could make it much easier on me!
They have such sharp little talons but they are very gentle souls! The air was cold & their wings created such a strong breeze! It made my finger very cold!
I so enjoy the time with my little friends & am very happy that they have trusted me so! They must realize that I not only do not mean them any harm but that they have accepted me into their flight zone!
I am impressed that they are perched on your finger…you are certainly a gentle soul! :)
I was thrilled to see that the hummingbirds are back in Tennessee. I saw my first one yesterday. They always show up when the honeysuckle begins blooming. Beautiful photos!
I wonder what kind it is Rebecca? Any chance you can hang around your feeder near sunset with your trusty camera & find out?
Ha! With my point and shoot camera it took me all summer last year to finally get a photo that wasn’t a complete blur. I believe they are ruby-throated hummingbirds but I’m not positive.

That is impressive! They never let me get near enough…
Every little one is totally adorable…and your friends. Lucky lucky you. :)
