 For my first post to NatureScapes.net, I've decided to go with this immature male/female Selasphorus species? hummingbird that I photographed late yesterday afternoon about 8 miles north of my house. Most likely, it's a Rufous Hummingbird but, at this age and in this plumage, it is inseparable in the field from Allen's. Rufous Hummingbirds are rare but regular visitors to Arkansas; some even overwinter. Allen's Hummingbirds have yet to be confirmed in Arkansas. You will never know how much I pleaded for this bird to choose another perch; that vertical stem is a bit of a problem for me but, apart from that, I'm pleased at how well the image turned out. Camera: Canon D-60 (c'mon 1D update!) Lens: 500mm f4 IS Cropping: This is about 70-80 percent of the original frame. Digital Work: Selective USM (mainly the hummingbird), Levels, and Contrast adjustments. --
