Wow! Capturing something that can flap wings at about 80/sec. Amazing work!
I wish I could do something like that some day.

Top quality work as always, you never fail to impress PT and these, especially where the bird is looking down the lens, are stunning
Take care

Thank you steve, it's been awhile. Hope all is well with you and your family. Don't be a stranger and pop in a little more often.

Woops sorry glen, didn't mean to forget you.( Thank you )

Small targets , getting crazy close is the key. If you have a good spot they frequent, maybe try squirting some sugar water into a few flowers close to your blind to hold them there a little longer for a shot. When they find it they will keep coming back.
