Patience

"Patience" 
Judy Royal Glenn Photography 
One of the keys to wildlife photography is patience.  When I find a hummingbird's perch, I know he/she will come back time after time.  It seems like when I am waiting they may be visiting every flower before they come back because it takes so long.  In reality, I know they are also perching on another favorite perch.
  Sometimes I only have to wait a few minutes, but more than likely it is 15-30 minutes or longer.  It is a focused time of being still, quiet, and focusing on the perch while waiting. 
The wait is worth the result!  I think this is my favorite hummingbird shot to date.

A Pretty Prickly Place

This female Ruby-throated Hummingbird loves to land on this Yucca plant.  It's a prickly place to land, but she loves it.
