Wow, looks like you've got these mastered too! I sat on the ground today waiting for a Hummingbird to return to my Bleeding Heart, but the only thing that showed up was one of my horses...so I shot her! (With a Canon, of course!)

Four excellent shots Jeff. Your first and last are the stronger images IMO.

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

No license needed! (I just posted my horse picture on Flickr and "Show me your Horses" in the Pet section.) I want a Hummingbird that follows me around like a Lab!
