Snapshot: Tiny, but Bold

Our smallest bird, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, has a bold nature. The one below flew up next to me while I was photographing some wrens and hovered 2-3 feet (less than a meter) away to look over my shoulder. It was too close for my long lens to focus on it! After a bit, it flew to a nearby branch to continue watching me. It was now far enough away for me to take this picture.
