Another very nice back lit shot. It's not easy to make a back lit shot of a small bird that moves so erratically and fast.

Archi...You've gotten some wonderful hummer shots with multi-flash. It stops all motion, and really presents the birds in an attractive manner. The color of these birds is fantastic.

Ah yes, so is that where the word horny came from?

I never thought about it, but your theory certainly makes a good sense. :mrgreen: When I was teaching biology, I should of explained to the kids like that. :lol:

I know from experience that these guys are extremely tough to capture in flight. You made a very nice shot here, Bill.

Thanks, Mike. A little luck involved as I noticed him crouching to get ready to launch. That helped.

Finally pried myself out of the house yesterday to go to the lake. Not much was going on, and I was getting ready to pack it in, when I spotted this gull playing with a small plastic bottle. He'd fly up, drop the bottle, and try to catch it on the way down. This frame caught him as he wheeled around into his dive.
