Shot this under poor lighting conditions. Birds were coming in for the first time in the morning.

Camera Settings: ISO 2500; f4.5; 1/1000s. f4.5 is as wide open as my lens will go.

Pic is noisy. Should I have used a different ISO setting?

That's awesome. Love taking hummer pics. What camera are you using? ISO 2500 might be a bit high for noise. High shutter speed is needed for these ladies, so with the light the way it was and your lens limitations, I'd say this looks pretty darn good.

WOW! That's great, noise or no noise. Most of the time they don't have the patience to hang there and wait.
