About This Image

Hummingbird, Rufous female, (note tiny feet : ) feeding at Japonica flower (or Flowering Quince shrub as it's also known). Taken from open front window, telephoto lens.
The fruit of the quince is forming at the lower R corner of the photo. They look like small apples but are as hard as nails : ) The thorns on the shrub can also be seen here.

thanks very much, Mary and Janice, for the nice comments. Yes, the wings rotate round and round as they hover. Amazing little jewels of birds.

Great shot. I love the way they are suspended in air when they feed. I understand their wings help them do that.
