Magnificent hummingbird makes even more spectacular offspring

Call it a match made in Humboldt.
The highly unusual Latin American magnificent hummingbird that showed up at a Pigeon Point Road feeder in 2004 apparently has a son — a cross between a magnificent and a resident Anna’s hummingbird.
It may be the only hummingbird in the world with a bright yellow neckband, or gorget.
Jerry Mahlberg, who lives just a stone’s throw away from where the magnificent was first spotted east of Eureka, has taken pictures of the fascinating cross-bred bird. A male, the bird’s plumage is especially brilliant.
”It’s one of the most beautiful birds I’ve ever seen,” Mahlberg said. “He’s just so beautiful.”

Wonderful. It is amazing the different feel a little “fuzziness” can give an image. Yes, romantic, yes, perfect contrast between the stillness of the flower and the speed of the wings. I love the whole image.

I caught myself staring at this for a couple of minutes this morning. Very peaceful, almost meditative.

I like the body language in the plant, almost looks like it is taken aback. More than a pretty shot.
I agree! Imagine having that sharp little beak thrust down your throat. No wonder the flower curled away.
