They are one of my favorite winged creatures... the humming bird.
While the Bella Donna plant can be toxic for humans, it appears that these little guys like the nectar within.
The wings of a hummingbird can flutter at amazing speeds. Sometimes all you can see are the traces of their wings in the blink of the shutter.
Every once in awhile I get lucky, and catch one slurping up an insect I cannot even see, or just at the tail end of that meal with their beaks barely parted.
Often I catch them resting. People tell me they never see them sitting still, but if you watch closely, and become a part of their world, you will see them resting often in between their feeding.
