CANON 100-500RF @ 300mm
f7.1 @ 1/3200
ISO 800

Saturday September 7, is National Hummingbird Day, so this image is for that day. This juvenile male, was feeding at the favourite flowering plant, among many other plants at this location, the Black and Bloom Salvia. Soon, the juvenile hummingbirds will be heading South to their winter home in the Tropics ( the adults have left some time ago), but always special to observe and photograph the hummingbirds when they are here ( May- Sept).

Natural background, natural light and handheld, for hummingbird images.

Province of Ontario, Canada, image- August 21, 2024.
Thanks to everyone for viewing.

Best hummer yet, Paul! Gorgeous pose and background colors. Love the purple flowers, and the hummer is just lovely. Top rate!
