Thanks everyone. I think the cloudy skies helped bring out the colors of his head and neck feathers.

Thanks. Here's one of the two shots by itself. If you click on it, you can see a much larger version of it on my flickr page.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Thanks very much. The background is a portion of my cinderblock wall...actually, it's less than a single block. When it's in full shade, I like the look of it too.

Here's the image above straight out of the camera to show the block wall.

Great shot, especially considering the tiny subject. I need to get out and try to find some hummers again.

Oh wow, all hummers are beautiful, but this one is at the top of the beauty list. Great shots Gene.

Cool! Turning its head like a little puppy. Maybe curious about the clicking sound? Sweet shots, Gene.
