This sweet hummingbird is not suppose to be in my area this time of year. She has been coming to my backyard for the past 4 days and I decided to put a feeder out for her. She now comes to my yard 6-8 times in one day! I love having my special visitor.

This beautiful Ruby throated Hummingbird showed up in my backyard in December.Ruby throated Hummingbirds are suppose to be down South not in Virginia. Since she showed up I put a feeder out and she has become a resident to my yard.Time
This shot was taken mid morning. This is the best time to get shots of birds, they are more active in the morning.Lighting

What inspired me to take this photo, seeing a hummingbird this time of year was a wonderful surprise. So that inspired me to grab my camera and get as many shots of this special event.Editing

Taking photos of fast moving birds can be a challenge. The best advice I can say is try to predict what and where the bird will fly too. It takes lots of practice and several blurry shots, but do worth it.
