Never thought much about it, but didn't know hummers could scratch the back of their heads! This is a male Anna's hummingbird relaxing on a kaffir lime tree branch. At certain angles, the black patch on his throat flashes a bright metallic ruby color.

Good depth of field. Question, did the bird fall before he was done scratching? Nice and clear.

Nice shot. Did you shoot this at a high ISO?

If a picture is good enough for you to click on, it's good enough for you to vote on.

I was looking at your gallery and saw this adorable image! He's too cute. What a marvelous capture. He stands out very clearly from the leafy background. Thanks for putting a smile on my face :)
