Apr 27, 2015 10:59 | #6 Thanks very much everyone. Here are a couple more from this set. These were all taken with my 100-400 + 1.4 extender. I would have had more keepers but the shutter speed was 1/50th. I'll include the exif info on these two shots.

Apr 27, 2015 15:41 | #9 I chased a cat off my porch this morning and was glad to find that my hummer buddy was OK when he returned to 'his' roost. Here he is ever vigilant.  Turning the other cheek by navydoc45, on FlickrGene - My Photo Gallery ||

Apr 27, 2015 16:59 | #10 Could it be he is grumpy because there isn't a feeder on his perch?? Great set of images. Ron

Apr 28, 2015 09:17 | #13 I had trouble focusing a couple of times and then I realized that at 560mm, I was within the MFD. Here are two more from yesterday.  The eyes have it by navydoc45, on Flickr Standing proud by navydoc45, on FlickrGene - My Photo Gallery ||

Try taking off the extender and getting closer. Half the fun of shooting hummers is seeing how close you can get Moose

This will give you some idea of just how far away that perch is from "his" feeder. This also reminds me just how tiny he really is. This shot was taken with my EF 85 f1.8 lens and 5D3 at f2.2, 1/400th and iso 100.
