Hummingbird at Delta Ponds

I assume this is an Anna's Hummingbird. I saw it at Delta Ponds and it stayed still long enough for me to get a shot. It was farther away than I wanted but beggars can't be choosers. So I got the images anyway and cropped the result. I like the final photo even if it was cropped a lot. They are such cute little things and are so small! I never get tired of seeing them or lose the thrill.

Same here, although unlike you, I rarely ever get a shot of one. Very nicely done, especially considering the crop. ~V~

Beautiful sharp image Vern.

Very cute! They have favorite perches. So if it darts off wait a minute or two and there's a good chance it will come back.

Such a tiny little bird, what wonderful colours.

a revelatory capture....well done Vern as they move so quickly...she looks frazzled, perhaps due to the current cold spell..
