I was actually looking for a California Quail that I heard when this little hummer landed on a bush near me.

Great series. Those iridescent feathers are just wild. :D Nice detail and action too.

Thanks. The sun was setting behind me, so every time he looked at me his face lit up. They're so beautiful they look fake.
