Lately I’ve been on a roll when it comes to photos of birds being attacked by other birds. Yesterday morning in the mountains the victim was once again a kingfisher but this time the image quality is very good.
Hummingbird feathers at the right angle and in the right light can be jaw-droppingly gorgeous. And I’m talking about far more than just the gorget.
