Ruby-Throated Hummingbird - a photo on Flickriver

            For this shot, I tried a different lighting technique. I had a triangle set up. The flash was off the camera and about 15 feet away to my left. I was about 15 feet away from where I wanted the bird. Sun was to my right. Just had to wait for the hummer to get to the right spot.
Most birds are creatures of habit. If you watch them long enough, you can kinda predict their next move. The Hummer didn't let me down.
Taken at Bill's Backyard Bird Blind, Somewhere near here.
