near Elm Creek, Nebraska -- Female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird
One evening I positioned myself to try to get some flight shots. A few minutes earlier I saw the hummingbird flying around, but I lost track of her. As I was scanning the trumpet vine I saw her perched about 8 yards in front of me in great light. I was able to capture the show in the following images:
"Preening Beauty"
"Grooming"
"Stretching"
"Looking Pregnant"
"Cleaning Her Brood Patch"
"Strange"
Please see my hummingbird section to view all of the above pictures.
