Great shots! It's hard to get one of those little things to be still long enough to get a pic. You did a great job..........Got to go get my feeder refilled! Trumpetvine http://www.plantswap.net/forum/image...s/applause.gif

Now that I have all your attention.Thanks alot for all the compliments here. Now how to catch a hummer photo. I put a Shepards Hook about 2 feet or less , from my kitchen window.. It is in the ground .......And move very slow where they aren seeing you.. Dust is usually the goody time to be there.. Try it.....
