Female Rufous Hummingbird

Genoa Bay, Vancouver Island


Another trip to Genoa Bay, the best spot we know of for hummingbirds, and we clicked away fascinated by their antics. This female captured my attention and it's my favourite shot of the day. When we finally tore ourselves away we were very conscious of the speed and manoeuvrability of these little birds and even saw them flying backwards!
