This is a superb presentation, Doc--every one a winner.


Thanks so much Earl. I really appreciate that fine compliment. It was a great trip with so much to shoot even though it was a dragonfly and damselfly survey.

WOW, Doc.... that sounded like a very dangerous and exciting adventure and what a thrill to see hummers everywhere!!! Beautiful shots of these tiny flying jewels!!
I especially love your capture of #8 with his tongue sticking all the way out!!
I never see them in my garden, so these were truly a treat to see!!

They were a treat Angela. It was something else to try my hand at shooting. I appreciate your comments.

Thank you Rineal. They were a challenge for me. I shoot about 90% dragonflies and damselflies and I know their habits. These guys, as you said, are quick. I got a lot of empty branch shots.

I just returned from a 10 day dragonfly expedition to Costa Rica. It was amazing. The accommodations were a bit spartan and the food was different and good. When I'm here in PA surveying for dragons the main thing to watch out for is not getting stuck in the goo in bogs and wetlands. There you had to watch out for that and crocodiles. At the one lagoon we surveyed we were told to be careful because 4 dogs were taken so far this year! They were there and we saw them. (Didn't lose anyone). So why start with hummingbirds? I wanted to show my fellow Hoggers more than just dragons and damsels. I'm not a bird shooter but these guys were everywhere and so beautiful. I'm not sure of some of the names others I am sure of. If you have corrections pleas feel free to let me know. I hope you enjoy my first installment in this series.
