Hummingbird at 1/3200 second


Plenty of light and a 1/3200 second shutter speed but still not enough to stop action the wings, but close as the wings change direction. Since they hover, I got more keepers that I expected. What marvelous birds.

I am really surprised to see that Hummingbirds are attracted to Zinnias! There is a Hummingbird feeder in this backyard setting that the birds completely ignored. In the space of 20 minutes there were multiple visits by more than one Hummingbird. Two were there at one point in time. One of the birds chased the second bird off. "This is my territory!"
