I'd say you did a really nice job! Patience is definitely required to shoot hummingbirds!

Thanks everyone! These were taken with the Canon EF 100-300 USM, which I purchased from a fellow POTN member. I'm not yet in the market for an "L" lens, but hope to afford one soon. I also took this "busy bee" shot before the hummers showed up.
