Photo taken in Victoria, Canada 🍁
This green filled tree with its strong edged leafs, provides a great home for this little hummingbird. In fact me and this little bird became good friends. Where I am standing to take his picture was steps away from my front door.
I had two feeders set up for him, one in his tree, and one beside my door. He would come hover right in front of me as I sipped my coffee.
The sound of his wings breath taking, the sound of his chirp unique from the rest of the birds.
He owned that tree, and would fight off any other bird bigger them him, I admire that, the strong survive no matter how tiny.
The green of the leafs that surrounds the bird inspired me to post this for green thursday.

Awesome shot Josh! We've got a nest in a cherry tree in our yard, but I can't see through the branches well enough to get a shot. This is great... resteemed :)
Thank you keith ... yes they are hard to capture. Very elusive, but extremely smart birds! 😊 I was lucky this guy made me his buddy
Hardest working bird around! I'm glad to see they rest every now and then after being "sugar buzzed" from all the nectar they suck up all day long. Superb shot, Josh! @iiiphotography 📸🐦💯
