The Spectrum of Hummingbird Colors
Hummingbirds are simple creatures to adore. Every aspect of them is amazing, including their vivacious personalities, their one-of-a-kind and lightning-fast flying, their adorable cup nests, and their gorgeous feathers. The last point, which is the colours of hummingbirds, is one of the most attractive aspects of these birds. A hummingbird can be found in almost every colour of the rainbow at any given time. Here, we use photographs that were submitted by readers of Birds & Blooms to highlight the many different colours that hummingbirds may be.
Regal, Red Ruby-Throat
“Using my Canon EOS 1300 D camera, I was able to capture this photograph of a male ruby-throated hummingbird that was in my backyard. This particular male did not show any signs of fear in response to my presence; nonetheless, anytime I would click the shutter, it would jump off the feeder and search for the origin of the sound. According to Mindy Drexler, a reader of Birds & Blooms, “I particularly like the way his head is tilted up to show the brilliant red on its throat.”
A Striking Pink Anna’s Hummingbird
The Anna’s hummingbird that I saw in Tucson, Arizona, is very stunning, and I can’t help but be awestruck by its beauty. The colours of the hummingbird are quite eye-catching, and the stance is very stunning! According to Joan Purcell.
Small But Mighty Rufous Hummingbird
It is the fact that the rufous hummingbird, despite his diminutive size, possesses a great deal of power that I find so remarkable. It is with great zeal that he watches over his feeding area. During the course of several weeks, this little rufous made its home on our patio, where it remained for a while and provided us with entertainment. Delia Alcorn, a reader, adds that she and her friends enjoyed seeing him perform aerial gymnastics while he defended his territory.
A Sparkling Backyard Ruby
It was my very first time taking a picture of a hummingbird. According to Ronda Legg, “During the summer, this male ruby-throat was sitting on my trellis for my roses.”
Bold Blue-Throated Mountain Gem
It was in May of 2016 when I went on a trip to Arizona. This mountain beauty with a blue-throated crest was hanging around, and I was able to take quite a few pictures of him. At Ramsey Canyon, which is located in Hereford, Arizona, the photograph was captured. I utilised a Tamron 150-600mm lens in conjunction with a Nikon D810 camera. “I find this species to be quite stunning, and I particularly admire the blue feathers on the throat and tail,” adds reader Ronald Johnson.
Purple Costa’s Hummingbird in the Snow
It is true that a hummingbird feeder is the present that keeps on giving; I received one for Christmas a couple of years ago, and it continues to show its value. At this point, we have hummingbirds in our backyard throughout the entire year. Immediately following the rare and fresh snowfall that occurred in our backyard in Las Vegas, this photograph was taken of a Costa’s hummingbird basking in the warmth of the snow.
A Challenging Black-Chinned Hummingbird
A photograph of a black-chinned hummingbird was shot in Swan Valley, Idaho, United States of America. This bird captured my heart the moment I laid eyes on him for the first time. Getting an image of him was a difficult task to do. I found him even more fascinating because he did not like to remain motionless, and that was one of the reasons why. The reader Sandra Colton says, “After taking a lot of pictures, I was finally able to get the purple to show up.”
A Rare White Hummingbird
Approximately sixty miles away from where I live, a leucistic Anna’s hummingbird made a visit to the Australian Garden at the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum, which is a public garden. My passion for hummingbirds compelled me to make the trip there in order to witness this uncommon bird for myself. Although I had heard that witnessing it was a gamble, I was exceedingly fortunate to be able to do so. The bird flew through the air like a white bullet, and then it lingered over the flowers that were in front of me. Whoa! According to Sally Rae Kimmel, “Despite the fact that my heart was racing, I took as many photographs as I could before it flew away as quickly as it had flown in.”
Rainbow Hummingbird
This photograph is what I refer to as a rainbow bird, and I absolutely adore the contrast between his blue-green body and his crimson beak. At the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum, I was able to get this photograph of a broad-billed hummingbird,” says Justin Lingana.
Luminous Lucifer Hummingbird Colors
During my time spent photographing hummingbirds in the Davis Mountain region, I was expecting to capture a particularly striking image of a Rivoli’s. In spite of the fact that I did not have the chance to take a good picture of one, I was fortunate enough to come across some Lucifer hummingbirds and subsequently captured this photograph, which turned out to be my favourite. As a reader named Johnny Bliznak puts it, “This photograph more than made up for my lack of success with the Rivoli’s.”
Broad-Tailed Hummingbird Colors
The trip to a friend’s cabin in Southern Colorado, where I get to photograph the numerous birds that come to feed on the feeders, is always one of the most memorable experiences of my year. Because there was so little bird activity this year, I decided to focus my attention on three broad-tailed hummingbirds; they were the focus of my attention. According to reader Ron Newhouse, “I spent a couple of hours photographing this particular bird under a cloudy sky, and then the sun broke through the clouds, which gave me the opportunity to capture this shot with the rose-colored gorget in bold display.”
Ruby-Throat and Delicate Daylily
The ruby-throated hummingbird, which is a beautiful adult male, appears to be claiming this daylily as his own. According to Carol Holliday, “I had the good fortune to capture his wings extended, revealing the exquisite and delicate detail that their wings possess.”
Allen’s Hummingbird Puts on a Show
In the northern part of California, this lovely Allen’s hummingbird had landed close to the feeder that we keep in our yard. According to reader Leslie Scopes Anderson, “I took this picture with a Nikon D700 equipped with a 200 telephoto lens using my camera.”
