Truly Outstanding Hummingbird Photographs

The May issue of the Missouri Conservationist magazine has some truly outstanding pictures of hummingbirds by photographer Noppadol Paothong.

I especially like the cover image of a hummingbird captured in mid-hover, with wing and tail feathers spread out.

At my three hummingbird feeders at home, we've had many ruby-throated hummingbirds flying about for several weeks. At times, every feeding perch has had a bird, with one or more hovering behind it.

These are fascinating birds. The article in the magazine is a great introduction and more information is available on the Missouri Department of Conservation Web pages.
