Are you and Photo Lady neighbors or what?! Ha! Nice pics!

I'm in Massachusetts. Depending on what part of NY she's in, we might only be a few hours apart.

I see … but you missed the jist. I was of the belief that you were literally right next door to her and taking pictures of birds in her tree since yours and her pictures look very similar. It's Ok, forget it.

Cool how some of the colors have that iridescent quality. Gotta ask what shutter speed you used to stop those wings that well.

I just found this little hummingbird photo from my collection... i do not think i will be seeing them any time too soon since it is snowing and cold.....this is one of my photos that was far from perfect but still had a certain appeal.. maybe because it is rare that we get to shoot a hummingbird actually going for the nectar in the flower..

Thanx Kirk.

Specially for Humming birds, I would prefer shutter speed of 2000+ & that might need higher ISO depending on light. All the best & looking forward to your Hummers in action....
