Photo of a hummingbird hovering next to a coral tree flower, which has long red spikes that the hummingbird is feeding from.

Another photo of the same hummingbird and flower, now poking its beak into the flower spike.

Always loved the long red spiky flowers of the coral trees here in Mexico and thought "I bet hummingbirds are into it". Got lucky and caught one in the act 🌺🐦

This Costa’s Hummingbird was doing an expert job navigating around a bloom on my Echeveria Marrom succulent during a breezy afternoon. 😀 #hummingbirds

Male rufous hummingbird being measured for a leg band

Yesterday I attended a Nature Trust event that included the banding of newly arrived hummingbirds. Here a male rufous is being measured whilst in a “straight jacket” made from blue shop paper towel strips. #hummingbirds

As soon as I lament that there hasn’t been many video captures, these #hummingbirds said “Hold my beer” and stopped on by 😍 Thank you Nature 🥰

Last year's visitor, a Broadtailed Hummingbird [Selasphorus platycercus] female was perched on the stem of a bright red Crocosmia crocosmiiflora in full bloom. The female is facing the camera showing her bright rusting colored breast with white speckled throat, feeding on the nectar of the flowers. Long green narrow leaves poke up all around behind her. Purple and greens from neighboring flowers and plants color the background. #PronghornWildlifePhotography @ Property of Barbara Magnuson and Larry Kimball

Here at 8300 ft elevation in Colorado, the first hummingbird, a Broad-tailed arrived 3 days ago on April 9th, 2 weeks earlier than the norm. With the full flowers in bloom, this was last year's visitor. #Birds #Hummingbirds #WildlifePhotography #BroadtailedHummingbirds #climatechange #wildlife 🪶🕊️

Is anyone else in #easttennessee missing their #hummingbirds ? We usually have them in the single digit days of April. #birdsky #birds

A female hummingbird sits in her nest.

Kitchen Hummingbird Nest, Day 5. She looks ultra comfy sitting in her nest, presumably keeping eggs warm. We're getting rain tomorrow, she'll be busy, I'm sure! #birds #hummingbirds

Soon to fledge baby hummingbird in San Diego. Sibling left yesterday.

One of the nice things about photography in the rain is that you get great light on your subject like the downpour in which I shot this Violet Sabrewing in #CostaRica.

Male Anna’s hummingbird balances on his right leg while he scratches the side of his head with his left. His gorget is bright fuchsia and his crown is black and sticking up. He has shiny green feathers over a white base. The background is green and blue, out of focus.

A violet-crowned hummingbird peers over the perch of a feeder, its violet crown and long red bill glistening in the sun.

I was lucky to catch this buzzing hyacinth visorbearer as he flashed his colors in Brazil. #birds #birdsseenin2026 #brazil #birdphotography #hummingbirds

The neck feathers are iridescent and only present the visible violet color when they catch the sun at a specific angle. The iridescence does not stem from pigment but rather nanometer size features in the structure of the feathers. Nature's nanotechnology!

Black chinned hummingbirds have arrived in New Mexico for the season. This one has set up residence in my back yard.

I'm pretty sure this is her - keeping a careful eye on her nest from a branch several feet away.

Kitchen Humminbird Nest, Day 4. She's spending a lot of her time away from her nest - could she have laid an egg already? They tend not to incubate until a second egg is laid. #birds #hummingbirds

Hummingbirds begin to migrate north about this time each year. Here are some of my paintings of hummingbirds. www.teepublic.com/user/matt-st...

A female hummingbird works on the soft lining of her nest.

Kitchen Hummingbird Nest, Day 3. She's been bringing bits of fluff back, presumably to make her nest ultra comfy. We are having rain the next few days, so hopefully her nest will survive! She added a leaf into the nest - it'll catch wind, I'm not sure it was a good idea! #birds #hummingbirds

Hey! You! What you doing down there?

A female Anna's Hummingbird perched on a slender, spring green branch. Several smaller branches with leaf buds surround her. Her dainty gorget is iridescent pink.

One of the lovely ladies that frequents my yard. #birds #hummingbirds

A quiet stillness rises in open air.
Petals lean toward the light.
A soft moment settles between branches.
Spring moves through the trees.
And for a moment, you feel held by the season.

How Hummingbirds Perform Impossible Looking Aerial Moves Hummingbirds can fly upside down, spin in the air, and even fly backward thanks to their incredible wings that rotate 180 degrees.

"Hummingbirds are known for their fast wingbeats and the ability to hover and even fly backwards. This is due to their extremely mobile shoulder joints, which give their wings 180-degree mobility, as well as their strong chest muscles."
