Miles Hecker saw these colliding Rufous Hummingbirds in Casper, Wyoming.
Hecker said he took more than 100 pictures as the Rufous Hummingbirds
(Selasphorus rufus) hovered near near his feeder. The bird above is a female. The other is a juvenile male.
Heckler used a Canon 20D digital SLR, a Tamron 200-500mm zoom lens, and a Sigma flash to take the picture.
