Fall Hummingbirds

These were taken just after sunup with the warm, early morning light. I was able to get fairly close. These birds are more interested in defending their territory and don't seem particularly bothered by my presence. If I keep the feeders filled, a few of them will stick around all winter.
I could have cropped the first closer, but I thought the dew on the web made it more interesting.
You'll notice that a change in head position affects the iridescence of the feathers, and the color appears to be completely different.

Thank you Ronsh. I generally use the 7D with the 100-400 (which practically lives on it) for birds. These were all shot at 400mm.
