Anna's Hummingbird feeding young

[Joerg Rockenberger]

There is an at least locally famous and often photographed female Anna's Hummingbird who's feeding two young ones. They left their nest a little bit more than a week ago. And the little trooper is already building another nest...

They are all in some bushes and trees right next to a path and relatively in the open. The challenge is to get a nice background...

Hope you enjoy. JR

Love the interaction of the couple, love this kind of images.

Oh, this one is precious. The jewel colors of the birds, the background, and the interaction all make this a fabulous shot. If I had to find one teeny niggle, I might like a tad more room on the left, but it's beautiful just as it is.

Joerg, this is gorgeous!:) You couldn't have gotten a better interaction.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond and the kind feedback. JR
