Album Info:
"Oh hummingbird, mankind was waiting for you to come flying along./Heavenly songbird, we were so wrong./We've harmed you./Oh hummingbird, lend us your wings./Let us soar in the atmosphere of Abha./Lift us up to the heaven of holiness,/oh source of our being, oh hummingbird." ~ Hummingbirds are popular metaphors and symbols for lyricists. Seals & Crofts use this one to represent God - with strong Christian implications. Abha in Saudi Arabia is the site of a music festival; I suspect this song was performed there. It is a plea for peace and universal love which still seems appropriate to our times. The full text may be found here: http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/seals_ crofts/hummingbird.html ... please view image full size! Wingbeat is 60-80 times per second.

I don't know how you do it - hummers are sooooo hard to capture, but you are truly a master of the art

It's hard to comment your hummingbird shots, they're all three remarkable good! For sure it isn't easy to catch a flying bird in this quality! Good luck, Hannelore.

Another great capture of this interesting and lovely bird! The exposure is exact long enough to show the motion of the wings and short enough to see the details of them, well done Brenda! Best of luck, Detlef.
