I tell you what who doesn't love seeing a hummingbird.
And so friendly, I had one land in my a flowerpot that was hanging about three feet from my head. Boy was he ticked that I was near is feeder.
He finaly went over and started drinking away but always had an eye on me.
Enjoy.. 500mm - 1/125 - F6.3 - ISO 400 -Hand Held
I really need to remember to bring out the tripod next time.

Excellent capture. Saw my first hummer of the season over this way yesterday as well.

WOW! Thank you all for the wonderful comments.
I was suprised at how well most of the photos turned out for being hand held.
I think ( If the weather clears up ) I'm going to try and use the tripod today.
I've got one male that sits on a limb right above the feeder and gaurds it with his life, so it should be easy to get a nice focus.
I'll post more when I can.

Again thank you all for the comments!
