Description
Photograph of a male rufous hummingbird sitting on a tree branch with a background that has the look of batik but is actually oceanspray bushes. Except for the hummingbird's colorful red throat, the tones of this wildlife picture are subdued tan, gold and green. I photographed this little guy in my backyard and managed to sit very close to him. It's rare for a hummingbird to sit still for a portrait session...the tiny bird actually napped a little while I merrily snapped away. The photograph was taken in the early spring, and I think the hummer was perhaps tired from his recent migration from Mexico to British Columbia, Canada, where I live.
