Very nice, what lens did you use for these? I like the 2nd one best, that first one is cool cept I'm blind now from the bokeh

I've not had great luck with these guys, we don't have them our way so bout once a year I get a chance.

I used a tripod with my external flash in daylight at 1000-2000 shutter speed,4.0 to 6.3 aperture with a wireless remote and my 50D with my 24-105L,

and we get these guys all year long all day long !

Is that an Anna's?

thanks,

I thought it was a ruby throated,I'm really not sure,

but looking here > http://www.worldofhummingbirds.com/incl ... gbird.html you look right,

I know you are better at bird id's than I am.

maybe it was two different birds ? a male and a female ?

they kept leaving and then coming right back for a minute,then repeating that all day.

either way,they are always here ! it's very cool,we love it.
