Hummingbird, displaying much rotation of wings

female hummingbird, showing much rotation of her wings as she sips the nectar from this wildflower near our front patio.

You can see the movement at the top of the flower, from the "breeze" that her wings are creating.

thanks Tam, glad you like it. It has taken me ages to get this far. I spent hours sitting out front, over the various summers, to no avail.

Interesting contrast between the extreme wing movement, while keeping her head completely still. Another classic photo. Great bokeh.

Beautiful shot. Love the way its wings flutter as it appears to stay motionless where it is.
