Hummingbird, Male and Female

These are my first hummingbird pictures of the summer. For a while, I stopped feeding them because the weather was so hot that the sugar water spoiled quickly, and the last thing I want to do is make birds ill. Finally, the temperatures cooled down, and I put some hummingbird food out in a small feeder that I could just place in the tray of the Birdfy feeder with camera. It usually holds seeds so I improvised and it worked. It is possible to buy a hummingbird feeder with a camera, but I didn't want to invest money in something that I could only use a few weeks out of the year. The hummingbirds came here late in the spring and they'll be leaving soon.

These are ruby-throated hummingbirds. Only the male has the red throat. The female has a white throat.

I especially like the first picture because a kitty is stalking on the left side. He did not catch any birds.

The camera takes short videos. I clipped these pictures from the videos. I noticed that the male never held his wings still. The feeder cam is not fast enough to stop the action of the fast wings.

I imported the pictures into the SKRWT app to crop them to a uniform size. I can crop using the photos app on my iPhone, but it does not give me the option of specifying a particular size.

To clip pictures from the video, I paused it with my finger and told Siri to make  a screen print. She obliged for a while, and then started pretending she did not understand. She started giving me search engine results.
