Young hummingbirds, fresh out of the nest, provide some predictability on where you may find a good action shot. Atleast for a few days, mamma hummingbird will return often to feed the young birds while they learn to fend for themselves. The juvenile hummers can move around, but they generally don’t venture too far while waiting for another meal delivery. This gives us a chance to get the camera positioned and ready for the feeding behavior and nurturing moments from a dedicated parent.
Birds are elegant creatures and interesting to photograph in their own right. Capturing expressions of their behavior elevates your images from a thing of beauty to one that also shares information about a species and its relationship to the environment. While taking portraits of a bird watching for and trying to document its survival strategies can be a very rewarding way to enhance your experience and will provide interesting content for your caption.
