Bird Tales
Hummingbirds zip and zoom at high speeds through backyards, but these readers were lucky enough to capture the magic on camera.
What a little backyard bully! This male ruby-throat was practically strutting to show his dominance, protecting his territory from a dahlia bud near the back deck. My coming and going didn’t bother him until I got out my camera, and that’s when he darted away. I set the camera on a tripod with a remote and hid inside to get this photo.
