2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Black-Chinned Hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri), Palm Desert, CA, United States of America
Black-Chinned Hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri) - Female Taking an Energy-Nectar Drink

Species: Black-Chinned Hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri) | Location: Palm Desert, CA, United States of America

I was photographing the flowers, and suddenly the hummer appeared and started feeding. I had time to increase the speed and adjust the aperture and ISO...and this hummer stayed long enough to take several shots. Just as quickly, she was gone.
