Broad-billed Hummingbird, Cave Creek Canyon in Cave Creek Canyon, near Portal, Arizona

The past few years I have gone down to the Portal area of the Chiricahua Mountains to photograph the hummingbirds. In previous years, I have brought with my numerous flashes so that I could freeze the motion of the wings. This past August / September I used natural light and let the wings blur. I don’t think one way is better than the other, just different. Just now getting caught up on my editing and adjusting from this past fall. This is a Broad-billed Hummingbird.

Vermilion Flycatcher, Marana, near Tucson, Arizona.

Our winter home has always had a fair number of Vermilion Flycatchers, however, this year there seems to be many more than normal! I fine with that as I find them to be very striking. The red is brighter than that of the Northern Cardinal – so bright!. This is a male who was bringing food to a nest with two chick in it.

Cute on cute!
