It takes a lot of luck to capture these fast-movers in flight, let alone in a pose like this. This Rufous Hummingbird in Colorado State Forest State Park was kind enough to give me a chance for some nice shots. The low, bright evening sun allowed me to use a high shutter speed (1/3200) to help freeze the action.
