About To Take Off!

I was thrilled to spot an Anna's Hummingbird at Delta Ponds again! This one would sit on a willow tree for a moment, fly off and then return. I watched for a while and got some good pictures. This one is a favorite. It is just about to fly off again.

Such a cute little male. They are very habitual, perching on the same branch often.

Nice shot Vern, harder to do with that super zoom than with a DSLR! V

Sweet, so hard to get their vibrating little bodies in focus. The feathers are so fine too. Neat shot. Linda S

I can see why this would be a favorite choice - such expectancy with the wings already in motion, the head poised in the direction of flight.
Chris Gibbins29-Feb-2016 16:04
Splendid action shot, Vern, lots of movement in the wings, and sharp on the head. V.
