:thumb: Very nice, what lens did you use for these? I like the 2nd one best, that first one is cool cept I'm blind now from the bokeh ;)

I've not had great luck with these guys, we don't have them our way so bout once a year I get a chance.

thanks :)

I used a tripod with my external flash in daylight at 1000-2000 shutter speed,4.0 to 6.3 aperture with a wireless remote and my 50D with my 24-105L,

and we get these guys all year long all day long !

thanks,

I thought it was a ruby throated,I'm really not sure,

but looking here > http://www.worldofhummingbirds.com/incl ... gbird.html you look right,



I know you are better at bird id's than I am.


maybe it was two different birds ? a male and a female ? :confused:
they kept leaving and then coming right back for a minute,then repeating that all day.


either way,they are always here ! it's very cool,we love it.
