Male Anna's hummingbird resting on his lookout post on my patio, guarding 'his' feeder location. From tail tip to bill tip is maybe 4", so this is bigger than life size. Took this from patio doorway and extended camera up and out as far as I could w/o stepping outside.

Wonderful. I don't know how you did that and still balance enought to take the shot. How do you get these wonderful creatures to stay around?

This is a great capture and I like the colours of him. How did you get him to sit for so long.
