This female ruby-throated hummingbird is taking a quiet moment to scratch her itchy face. Hummingbirds are very clean birds and will often take time out to groom themselves.

Talk about action in non-action - great shot!

Thanks so much for your great comment and favorite, Marie! Even in their moments of seeming inactivity, these little birds require a fast shutter speed!

Thanks so much for your comment, Kathy! I wish I could get these little guys to pose... They do everything at high speed! I was just lucky to catch this little girl preening and scratching!

Great capture Amy. I have never seen one use its foot like this.
Amy Porter replied:
Thank you for commenting, Craig! Hummers seem to scratch themselves a lot, but it happens so quickly, it's easy to miss!
