Hummingbirds Favorite

Uploaded: July 14, 2006

Description

F stop 2.8, Shutter-1/1000, ISO-100

I believe this is one of the Rufous Hummingbirds that came from the nest in my yard. They have been showing up and perching on the flower stems of the Crocosmia, and getting their fill of nectar from its blossoms.
