I’m not a birder, although am learning a lot, but have done bird photography for many years. I think this is a “Rufous” Hummingbird. He was very patient and let me take many shots. I thought he was beautiful.

Lyman Lake, AZ
I changed this color photo to IR using a NIK filter and then worked with it. Lyman Lake is a beautiful area, off the beaten path for most people. Closed off and on due to state budget issues, it is closed now for the season at least. I have traveled the back roads in the area, with a 4×4 vehicle, and the views are worth it. But don’t go next spring without checking on the status. The facilities and cabins, etc., in the main area are new and very nice. Lyman Lake is part of the State Park system.
