Description
Photograph of a male Rufous hummingbird perched on a branch, resting after a long migration from Mexico to his spring and summer home on the west coast of Canada. This handsome hummer allowed me to sit quite close to him and photograph him freely. In the background are the branches of an oceanspray (ironwood) bush where hummingbirds often frequented. I liked the way the out of focus branches created a kind of batik effect that also matched the hummingbird's coloring.
This is a slightly cropped version of this photograph. The original uncropped version is also available.
