These birds never stop moving and are quite a challenge . They are only 4 inches long (10CM). They are a joy to watch and photograph and these were taken mid April on my second and third encounters with this species this year.

I think you titled it correctly Gary, they are basically natures version of a perpetual motion machine. Great job capturing these little beauties. Thanks for sharing.

You got that right. I was trying to photograph them Friday afternoon. There was a tree full and I got dizzy trying to get one in focus. I got off one shot and it turned out to be the back of the bird.

Anyway, very nice images Gary. Very well done. What is your secret to slowing that perpetual motion?
