Macro Monday: Hummingbird

Last week one day, a Hummingbird hit our window ( even though I have lots of pretty crap hanging up in the windows).  My husband rescued the bird and held it until it recovered enough to fly off by itself.
The feathers on his throat were beautiful. 
It was a wonderful experience to see him up close and personal.
Check out more macros here:)

    An incredible experience. So glad he was able to fly away after some TLC.

    Wow! Glad it wasn't flapping trying to get away. That's really something it sat still for awhile. Spose it knocked him out enough that it just couldn't fly.

    Amazing shots. They are so beautiful. We had the same experience a few years back and they are such tiny but tuff little creatures. Glad the hummer got his wings going again. Thanks for sharing.

    Lovely colors and details...looks like a male Ruby Throat. We had a similar rescue with a female a few weeks back:

    Stunning!

    You're good people for helping it out until it could fly again.

    These pictures are just unbelievable (not that I doubt that they are real - but I am extremely jealous that the opportunity hasn't come my way)!

    Great site you have here.
