We've been blessed with lots of hummers this summer! These were taken on the weekend in Algonquin Park.

Wow, great shots Scott. Cute little guys. Ours showed up way late this year. The weather I guess.

Thanks Mitch and we don't even mind when they stick their tongues out at us :)

The 2nd. last picture is gorgeous Scott. I had hummers all around me in San Fran but didn't bother with them as it was mostly foggy when I saw them.

Thanks Duane...we were really fortunate as there were a lot of birds around and probably five or six different males. Each one seemed to have a specific perch it preferred and returned to every few minutes.

Nice series here with the second image being my favourite for the sharpness, light, BG and foliage followed closely by the last image for the tongue ;-)a
