Yes, so please bear with me. Soon the rufous hummingbirds will be all gone so I am just taking all opportunities of photographing them. These were shot at a nature park with a feeder but the females were also feeding from flowers so it was really a delight.

All shot with the 7D and 400mm f/5.6

Man oh man, these are good!!! I am totally depressed for not having these birds in my part of the world. So, all I can do is see them vicarious like, through other people's eye's and lenses. Beautiful shots, Jo. And you caught it in some unusual poses! Great shooting.

Thanks for the comments. Don't you get Anna's? Usually they don't migrate and stay year round.
