looking for birds to photograph. We shouldn't forget our own backyard here in Los Barriles. I shot this Baja endemic Xantus's Hummingbird yesterday. For a hand-held shot it just makes me feel good looking at it.

Most of us would never see this, if not for your lens. Thank you Oly and Debbie. Keep them coming.

What shutter speed?

BigOly - 1-26-2013 at 11:00 AM

Vandenberg, at our place these guys fight all day long. In the eve it's like "time out" and they all sit together and feed peacefully before dark sets in. Oly
