I was actually looking for a California Quail that I heard when this little hummer landed on a bush near me.

    Great series. Those iridescent feathers are just wild. :D Nice detail and action too.

    Thanks. The sun was setting behind me, so every time he looked at me his face lit up. They're so beautiful they look fake.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
