The Rubies are Back
The Rubies are Back, now I am still posting photos from our trip around the states from this last winter. But we are home now so I have to throw in some photos from here, like my favorite little Ruby Throated Hummingbirds that visit my flowers here every summer.
They are hard to photograph, they are constantly chasing each other.
On occasion I can find them sitting almost still on my garden fence. But the camera still has to be set at a very high shutter speed to get a glance at those wings that move so fast.

These are stunning. My word.
Thank you very much 😊
Good capture
Thank you 😊
Great shots!
Thank you very much 😊
Hummingbirds in flight are difficult to capture but you did an excellent job. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy the beauty of these pretty birds.
You are very welcome, thank you. 😊
That first shot is excellent – interesting pose and nicely frozen. We still have several rubies fighting out their spots on our feeders. Amazing to see how hostile they are to one another when it comes to tasty sugar water.
Yes, I always get 4 of them, only 4, I would give them names but I can’t yell them apart. 😊
Nice dear
😊 thank you.
They are so adorable and loud, to be so little.
You capture them, beautifully.
Thank you, yes I usually hear them before I see them.
Love the feet in mid-air. “Here I come nectar – I can hardly wait!”
Landing gear down 😊
Lovely post! Brings me back to my childhood when we had a hummingbird nest right outside my bedroom window.
Oh that would be something to see. 😊
The images are spectacular and the hummingbird deserves the showcase. So these little birds are a constant presence in your garden.
Thank you, yes every year I have 4 of them. Only 4, that I notice anyway. They come around in the late afternoons.
Spectacular captures, Sandra! Your featured photo is breathtaking.
Thank you very much, it takes a lot of photos to get one good one, they move so fast.
Sweet little guys.
They are and so tiny. 😊
Fantastic photos !
Thanks, Sandra. Have a wonderful day.
You also Francine, thank you. 😊

I got a shot once, setting the camera to multiple exposures. Beautiful shots though, Sandra as always.
Thank you very much, yes once in awhile they do sit still, fun challenge to photograph them. 🙂
Great captures!! Hummingbirds are so fast that taking good photographs of them is a hard task. But you did a wonderful job here with the pictures.
Thank you very much 🙂
You’re welcome!
👏👏👏📷🌹
Thank you very much 🙂
The first and the last shot are real winners !
Thank you so much Rudi 🙂
Wow! They’re in your garden? What a weird coincidence, I was looking through ancient posts I did last year and found this one by me just before yours popped up on WordPress Reader

These were not photographed in my garden though!
Well that link didn’t seem to work. Here we go. My version of hummingbirds but I’m in the wrong hemisphere I’m afraid… and far too temperate for exotic birds of any kind…

Thank you for the link, I would love to see some of those hummingbirds, especially the ones with the long tail feathers.
Great shots!!
I once saw a hummingbird sleep for about 20min. It was wonderful! Most of the time, I see 3 that chase each other all day.
Thank you, yes mine chase each other all the time. 🙂
top captures bonne journée
Thank you very much Patrick 🙂
