Hummingbird

Well getting that Hummingbird feeder paid off today.

We were sitting in the living room when Abby starts yelling, that is a common thing, "JAMES THERE IS A HUMMINGBIRD AT THE FEEDER!"

So I just watched him thru the window for a minute and he flew just a short distance away and landed on a tree branch which I have never seen them do. So I ran and got my camera and sat outside for 10 minutes to see if he would come back. He did.

It's ok for a first try. Man they are fast and I couldn't even slow him down with the flash. I am now in awe of some other Pbasers that have such amazing Hummingbird shots. It must take some serious skill to get sharp shots of them.
