Absolutely amazing shot! The bird is completely in focus and backlit to boot!
So beautiful! You also nailed the framing which is super hard with birds.

Great work!  

Loving the more like this, since that means I keep finding more beautiful pics

It looks something like this: (taken from my journal)

Go camping
Hug a stranger
Make a few new trust worthy friends
Find more good music
Read/buy more good books
Dream more often
Get more clothes (continue developing a style I can call my own)
Go to the movies/a restaurant/shopping/a coffee shop alone
Get my nipples pierced (or another piercing)
Go on a road trip
Find a job I excel at
Do yoga more often and keep up my running schedule
Religiously keep a written journal
Buy new camera paraphernalia (also expand vocabulary)
Owe no money to other people
Make a portfolio website
Discover new restaurants/galleries/websites/stores/artists/movies etc.
Become even more comfortable in my own skin
Date somebody
Get palm read/fortune told/tarot cards read

What an interesting capture. I don't think I've ever seen a female ruby throated humming bird so puffy. Of course, I've never seen one sitting still. At my parents house, if you wait long enough, I've seen up to five humming birds at a time. They make the funniest noises at each other.

Great capture.

5 at once? Now that's a spectacle! They really do make interesting noises! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

And yeah, I can't see fullview either.

You might have to reload it. This has happened to me before when I pick a small size for display.

Great framing!
Not sure you needed the ISO at 800???
It's a great photo, either way.
