Anna's Hummingbird

Common along the Pacific Coast in all seasons, the Anna’s Hummingbird sports iridescent green feathers and rose-colored throat and crown. The courtship ritual includes the male’s high, swooping dives. Photographer Paul Nelson followed the migratory patterns of North American birds to capture a one-of-a-kind glimpse of their natural and captivating movements as they take off for flight. Paul takes the photographs using a portable high-speed camera rig he specifically designed for this project. His portrayal of birds in their natural habitats without the distraction of complex backgrounds strikes a balance that is both beautiful and intimate.
