This Anna’s Hummingbird kept our attention for quite some time during our trip to Arizona this month. We wanted to get a photo of his gorget all lit up and noticed that he had a couple of perches that he strongly favored. We set up next to one of them and waited. Several times he came and landed exactly where we wanted but only flashed his color for a split second and when I did finally capture a shot of it, I wasn’t all that pleased with how it came out. I did like this photo, doesn’t he look tough, almost like he has a furrowed eye-brow staring me down.
