A local hummingbird taking a break from her nest. Females generally sit on the nest for 55 minutes of each daytime hour, using the other 5 minutes to feed, preen and stretch. I got better results using my 200mm than my 70-300, even though it required me to crop the images quite a bit.

At 200mm you had to be pretty close to get this incredible shot Martha, I can never get close to birds no matter how hard I try, the detail, color, pose and light are all excellent Martha!! #11677808John Koepfer @PresentPleasures February 11, 2018
