Description Female Rufous Hummingbird
Size: 8 cm

They nest in Seattle this time of year, so I see them in my Norwegian Honeysuckle a lot.

If the weather stays mild, this plant will bloom through November, and our wonderful l'il hummers will stick around all year.

Wonderful! Whenever I see them, they're gone before I can even focus. 
One even came to the window for our Scarlet Runners. And then- gone, when I got the camera!
Maybe, they think it's funny.

Wow very nice! I've never seen a real hummingbird from where I am, but very nice shot I couldnt imagine how much luck you would need to be able to take a shot of its wings like that because they beat so fast,

Yea I like all kinds of animals, I find birds quite interesting though, I just admire how graceful they can be

I got really lucky with this shot. I was literally chasing her via my camera lens, and auto-shooting.

My weapon is a camera: MUAHAHAHA! xoxo

Thanks! I got really lucky with this shot. Basically, I set the camera for motion capture, and literally chased the bird through the view-finder while I let the camera snap away.
