Booted Racket-tail Photography
The Booted Racket-tail, with its improbable trailing streamers and puffed white leg feathers, is one of the most charming hummingbirds a photographer can hope to point a lens at, and NaturesLens builds real opportunities to capture it at close range, hovering and feeding, with time and patience built into the itinerary. Its small size and constant motion make it a genuinely rewarding challenge for anyone wanting to sharpen their skills with fast-moving subjects.
