For the past month now, I’ve been focused a lot on photographing hummingbirds here in Montana. Where I live, we have three species, rufous, broad-tailed, and calliope. All three have come through my yard in the past month. Seen here is the calliope hummingbird which is the smallest bird in North America. It weighs less than 3 grams and is about 3 inches long. What it lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in beauty.
