Hummingbird frozen in flight

Hummingbird frozen in flight. Catching images of any bird in flight is tough but these little ones have got to be the hardest. They fly at extraordinary speed and their flight patterns highly erratic. Normally I do a passable job with them when they visit for the summer but this year struggled most of the time. On this day in August though, I managed this shot as the Hummingbird flew in and hovered just for a brief instant.

Taken in Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado.
