There have been several wonderful hummingbird shots lately and it inspired me to go stake out my feeders. Here are the few I decided were keepers.

I like the use of the flash. Nice captures.

Thanks all of my feeders are in deep shade so if I did not use the flash my photos would be a blur or silhouettes.

Great series. Number 1 is spectacular!

Thanks it was fun, they are tricky little buggers. I do not know how many empty frames I came up with. I have a shot from last year I need to find I took it with my P&S but it is the best shot I have managed to get.
