Hummingbird Poses For Pics: Photos Of The Day

VALLEJO, CA — A hummingbird recently posed for a brief photo session in the Glen Cove area of Vallejo, as shown in these pictures sent in by Patch reader Mark Vihtelic.

"I usually can't catch pictures of Hummingbirds but this little one was resting on some branches," Mark wrote in an email to Patch.

Thanks so much for sharing with your fellow Patch readers, Mark!

• HUMMINGBIRD FUN FACT(s): Did you know these little winged wonders flutter their wings at a remarkable 80 times per second! They do NOT flap their wings, they rotate them in a figure 8.
