*My slideshows and videos feature photos of ruby-throated hummingbirds eating from hand held flowers, hand held feeders and eating straight from the palm of my hand. The male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird spent the summer of 2006 with me and returned to spend May and June of 2007 with me. Amazing? Yes, but true.
I am in the process of placing all of my better hummingbird photos and videos on a DVD which can be enjoyed on a large screen TV. You will be able to purchase the DVD right here and from a few other sites when it is available.
Thanks for visiting and please visit often and enjoy the new hummingbird features I add throughout the year.

My goal this summer was to get as many photos of hummingbirds enjoying flowers as I could. There are twenty-two 2009 photos in this group.
All of my photos are taken in natural light without flashes and that is why you never see completely frozen wings in my photos.
All photos were taken at my home using potted plants.
These photos are low resolution copies of my originals.
