About One of the few times I've seen a hummingbird sitting still!
The spots are probably some moisture on the lens as the shot was taken in a light drizzle, you can see some raindrops on the branches. I didn't expect to see the birds out in that, but I guess when you have to eat, you have to eat!
Taken at the Biological Gardens, UBC Campus.

beautiful bird with gorgeous colors and perfect DOF
very nice catch Dave

Dave, you must be psychic. I was just about to do this comment when yours about Siesta time came in. Thanks so much.
This one is gorgeous. I've never seen a hummingbird let alone one stationary. The way you've captured him with the blurred background is magic. The colours compliment each other perfectly. Also it seems birds in wet weather is the 'in' subject at the moment.

Khaled Mursi Hammoud   {K:52583} 7/7/2005

Mark Kresl   {K:9434} 7/7/2005
Kind of looks like he's humming a tune to me. Maybe he's one of those hummingbirds. Great catch, Dave. Composed very well with perfect DOF.
You're right, not often you seen them perched.
