Any comments and help in id'ing these birds would be much welcomed.

The hummer is a green violet-eared, excellent shots BTW. The eagle, I have no idea.

I was having flashbacks when I saw your photo #3. This could very possibly be the same bird as the photo I shot last year at the San Diego Zoo. I must admit you captured it much better than I did. Great work!

The eagle looks like a Steller's sea eagle - one of the most awesome (in the proper use of the word) birds on the planet.

The first hummer is a Broadbilled Hummingbird.

Well it's looks like they have all been named now Richard, so just to say you have nailed good shots on these birds, the humming bird shots are quite outstanding in detail and colour and I love the way the birds are composed in the shots, well done.

thanks for the id's guys

and thanks for the C&C Anthony. It all helps! I waited for ages in there to get a shot of one hovering but they are soo quick and a lot smaller than I thought they would be!!
