2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna), Glendale, AZ, United States of America
Family Portrait

Species: Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) | Location: Glendale, AZ, United States of America

This spring an Anna's Hummingbird nested in our backyard, and my wife & I got to watch as 2 eggs hatched and grew into these hungry "teenagers." After several weeks and hundreds of frames, this shot of Mom coming in for a landing at feeding time is my favorite.
