Apparently, hummingbirds blink faster than humans can perceive. This is apparently a very rare shot and I stopped everything I was doing once I realized that was a hummingbird eyelid. I’ve taken Thousands of pictures of hummingbirds and I’ve never even seen one blink. Apparently, they even sleep with one eye open!

Honestly an incredible shot. Great luck!

Is it just me or does it look somewhat iridescent?

I looked for more pictures of a hummingbird with its eyelid and only found 4 other photos. Great shot of something we very very rarely see in photos.
