Hummingbirds are fascinating and awe-inspiring little birds. Numerous Ruby-throated Hummingbirds visit my feeders and flowers many times a day. During the summer I often take time out of my day to capture photos of these amazing little jewels. The immature male pictured was visiting my Cardinal Flower to sip some nectar. Hummingbirds are some of the most challenging birds to photograph, but I enjoy the challenge. Photo taken in Sturgis, Michigan.

𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: Matting available for an additional charge for three popular sizes: 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14. Additional sizes upon request. I utilize white mats with backing boards. Please see separate listings to purchase a mat and please order the mat at the same time you order the print. The procedure for matting will be as follows: the photo lab will ship the print directly to me, I will mat it, then ship it to you. It takes approximately 5 days to receive prints from the photo lab. I will then mat the print and send it to you within 1-2 business days. Please take into account that this process will extend shipping time, so please plan accordingly, especially during the busy holiday season. The print or mat can also be signed by me if desired.
𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘: I will sign your print(s) for you if desired. If you desire my signature, the photo will be printed with a white border which will allow for my signature. I will sign the print in the lower right corner with archival quality black ink. The print will ship to me from the photo lab, I will sign it, then ship it on to the customer. Please contact me if you would like your print signed.
