look at her. So cute. Little hovering girl. So cool on your yard being named such.Welcome to the Hummingbird Page. I have loved these little stinkers for years. Thanks to their visits, my yard has been certified as a "National Wildlife Habitat" by the National Wildlife Federation. Here you are welcome to share your photos, videos, and stories of these little miracles. In my yard I am blessed with Broadtailed, Rufous, Calliope, and BlackChinned. Just remember these few things: Behave yourself! All BYC rules apply to this page just as they do on all others. Although I can't see any reason for disagreement on this thread, rudeness or trolling will not be tolerated but will be reported. Any photos and videos you post MUST BE YOUR OWN, taken by you or a family member. That means no swiping from the internet. The one exception to that rule is if we are discussing something highly unusual. In that case, post a link to the page with photos, videos or stories, but you may not take the photos off that page and post them unless you are prepared to give full credit to the original photographer. Hummingbirds can be notoriously difficult to photograph, and the folks who took those pictures have every right to have their efforts respected just as you do. Whenever possible, post your photo with identification of the hummer. This can be difficult, because females and juveniles look similar in many varieties, and in areas where territories overlap trying to figure out which bird is at your feeder or flower ain't always easy! Ready, set, GO!Female Rufous Taken near sunset with a Canon Rebel EOS T2i. The camera came with a telephoto lens but it doesn't have image stablization so I set up my tripod and used a remote shutter to prevent camera shake.
