Album Info:

August is a busy time for hummingbirds building their fat reserves for their long trip to Central America which the older males will make around Labor Day(September 3rd) and the females and immatures will leave a month or so later depending on the weather. This brave young male flew close enough to my face to feel the breeze of its wings in my face. Taken at dusk.

    • Well, we won't have long now to enjoy each other's work. This whole ordeal must be pretty upsetting to long time members here. Still seems to me like the same people are running things here, but just cutting more corners. Anyway great work on this capture. I love the colors and your contrast.

    • Hi Sam! I received your message regarding the problem on Webshots. I don't seem to be having a problem with your entries so far! This is a great capture. Looks like he wanted to thank you for all the sugar water treats and wave good-bye! Very lovely entry! Greetings, Sharon
