Meeting the Hummingbirds high in the mountains was a wonderful surprise. I used to see Hummingbirds in our local park during June/July, they were feasting on the red flowers (Hummingbirds are attracted to red) but never expected to see these birds in the mountains.
Hummingbirds are extraordinary creatures. They are the smallest of birds.
During two days I only watched Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and wasn't able to take photos because these birds were too tiny. Last Sunday I could approach them a little closer, I even had a chance to choose a better background.
I photographed this Hummingbird against the rocky mountains and got this nice pinkish background.
Common Paintbrushes are desert flowers. There were a few of them hiding behind sage bushes. I found them very beautiful.
Another Ruby-throated Hummingbird is perching on the dry branch.
Male Hummingbirds have throat patches (gorgets) of bright beautiful colors like ruby, amethyst and sapphire. Males use their gorgets to attract females.
Hummingbirds lay the smallest egg of all birds. They also the only birds that can fly backwards and beat their wings faster than any other bird. The Hummingbirds have short legs and can't walk, only to perch on the trees.
