Every spring at Point Pelee, photographers battle branches, fresh leaves, and chaotic backgrounds as they try to isolate tiny migrating birds. Sometimes, though, all that clutter comes together perfectly. This Ruby-throated Hummingbird, photographed during my Songbirds of Pelee workshop, perched for only a few seconds before disappearing back into the foliage, creating a loose, elegant composition that beautifully captures the feeling of spring migration.
