Fabulous, Larry! I can't wait until they get here again in a month or two. I love the sound they make as they dive bomb. *grin* Fabulously sharp and captured. ~Lydia

A great shot. Just the right amount of wing blur to suggest the humming sound.

Thank you all for the kind comments. These fast little guys are sometimes hard to capture, but that is what makes it fun.
Nico, here is a short example of the sound a hummingbird makes.http://www.mschloe.com/hummer/rufous1.wav

Nice capture, Larry. The hummers have been, well, humming around here a lot lately. -dtallakson

Wow, Larry! That is super sharp. How did you do it? Wait for days and days? Or some special trick to get them to hover like that for you? I have to confess my ignorance here: not too sure what this sounds like? Stunning capture. Regards Nico

Beautiful Larry, I can just hear it humming if I turn off the noisy fan in my computer... lol.
