Hummer No. 3

1/180 sec. f11 with on-board flash

A sweep through the archive of photos taken last summer yielded this hummingbird at the feeder in front of our cabin on Lake Superior. It was shot (at an angle) through freshly polished window glass during the evening and illuminated with the help of the camera's built-in flash.
