Wow, nice shots of what looks like a 1st year male Hummingbird, but not sure which type (Black-chinned maybe? But they are western hummingbird). Beautiful plumage. Nice job Bill.

The 100-400L is a great lens. If you stack some extension tubes (not extender or teleconverter), it reduces the minimum focus range so that you can get closer to the subject and fill up the frame, especially when shooting small subject like hummers.
I took these hummer shotslast weekend with my Bigma and some tubes. Worked pretty well. :)

These are very good shots Bill of the humming bird, I love the colours. With 105m shots of such a small bird you have done very well. You will do very well with 105-400m IS lens for bird photography.
