Default I got a Hummer this weekend
It was just getting dark Sunday night and our Humming birds are back. So I took them with the flash as to try to freeze thier wings and here is a few. I am also including a little yellow bird that was hanging around.

Great Shots! Was expecting a vehicle but I love the shots! Great captures, very clear.
I imagine it was shot with your 400L - rented it once and plan to purchase soon!

Wasn't expecting a hummingbird that is for sure.

Love the first one with the beak in the feeder.

I thought the title would draw attn. Yes it was my 100-400 L lens. I had that given to me by my inlaws for my birthday and they even thru in a 100.00 gift certificate to the camera shop. Yes they are awesome.

I also was expecting a vehicle.
That's funny though, I always call hummingbirds "hummers" too. (Thought I was the only one) Nice shots.

Great title I was jealous at first of the vehicle, then I opened this and saw the birds and am actually more jealous that you have those kinds of hummers around to take such great shots of !

These are the only Hummers I could afford. I have to much photo equipment on my wish list to afford a real Hummer. Thanks for the compliments.

Great job on the hummingbird and the goldfinch. Very nicely done.
