A few more shots from a recent trip. Was out taking shots of the Scissortails and these little ones showed up. The females maybe Ruby-troats. Both the Ruby-throat and the Black-chinned ranges overlap in this area. Taken with 7D and 600 F4 L + 1.4TC. Thanks for looking.

Wings up.

Wings down.

Nice to see hummers on flowers. Nice shots Brad. I have a feeder up but don't shoot the little ones on there. I'll be going out and stalking them when the thistles bloom.

Thanks Steve, We also have one up at the house and don't take pictures of them either. I hope you find some when the flowers bloom.

Beautiful!
Were you using AI Servo, or one-shot AF?

Thank you Moose, These were taken in AI Servo, Spot AF, and manual mode. I use AI Servo in nearly all my bird shots because birds move around so quickly.
