17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
hummingbird bathing on a hibiscus

I usually change the feeders and water the plants early in the day. But this day I had a short trip out of town. I returned home about 1 pm. By then the birds were all flying around me chattering like where have you been? So I began my chores of filling the feeders and watering the plants. Well this little girl here just sat on the flower and had herself a bath. I was lucky enough to get about 160 plus shots of her.
