21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Tiny Stretches
I watched a ruby-throated hummingbird, a frequent visitor to one of the local public gardens, swiftly dart from one flower to the next, as it fed on nectar. They are such a challenge to photograph, especially while in flight, given their small size and impressive speed. I was able to capture this image when it briefly perched on a tree branch to stretch its tiny wings.
