This was taken in my backyard. I think the hummingbird blends in quite well with the bush.

Little female Hummingbird perched on the edge of this Roses of Sharon flower and the flower never moved because she is so tiny.

I saw this hawk land on my fence, grabbed my camera. It flew down into the bushes and caught a small bird. I thought it would fly away, but it came
