Hummingbird coming off of perch

Saw this Ruby-throated Hummingbird several days ago, and haven't seen ANY since.
This may be the last of them for our yard here in KY. We'll leave the feeders out for a few more days in case some stragglers show up.

They sure are fun to watch and photograph. Looking forward to seeing them again in the spring.

Thanks, all! Glad you liked it.
Seems like every time I try to catch a bird coming off a limb it's always out of focus and/or blurred. A combination of slow reflexes on my part, and continuous autofocus not able to react in time.
Things came together for this one. An extra morning coffee helped with my reflexes, and a lucky anticipation of flight triggered a burst of shots that caught her just taking off.
Depth of field, Topaz AI Sharpen, and NIK Vivesa 2 to lighten up her face and eye completed what I needed to get it.

Oh, and a BIG crop was required, too...

Hadn't seen one since I took this picture, but just now as we were sitting here watching TV one flew through the open patio door and buzzed around our living room for a few seconds and then flew out again!
