Hummingbirds rarely sit still for long and when they do, pointing a camera at them usually seems to put an end to their break. Back in July I found a very willing photo subject though. It had taken to some roadside flowers and was not about to go far from them, jealously guarding them against any intruders. This afforded me a nice photo op with some cool portraits including this one that shows off its beautiful plumage including that colorful throat.
