Male Rufous Hummingbird

[Bill in Texas]

I have watched this bird go through transition and molting into this final, beautiful bird. First shot was a month ago. He has been around since at least January and maybe a bit longer.

He has certainly developed his full summer plumage, hasn't he? Gorgeous little guy.

Nice DOF in each of these. Good shooting!

Incredible set! And getting them in the wild is so satisfying compared to a feeder shot!

Thank you, Mitch. He is smoothing out and I know he will be leaving soon. About all I can get him on now is the feeder unfortunately. I keep hoping for flower shots.
