All photos are taken with my OM-1 camera and ranged in shutter speed to catch the motion of hummingbirds in flight. This is both a male and female ruby-throated hummingbird, which you can identify by the red throat on the male. They fly by beating their wings around 53 times in a second making it difficult to photograph them and not have a blur; however, my intention was to capture a blur to showcase motion.
Other backyard birds appear in the morning such as the Carolina wren, ladder-back woodpecker, and grey catbird. All photos were taken while utilizing The Cornell Lab's app called Merlin. This app allows me to record the birds while focusing on photographs, which in turn gives me a chance to connect the bird song with the photos.
