Our fall migration was large this year but it is nearly complete. We still have a few stragglers in our yard and some may stay through winter but probably will not. I don't usually photograph many hummingbirds because I am lazy mostly and hummingbirds can be a bit demanding. However, this years migration was so large that I couldn't resist. So, I put a cheap clip-on floodlight near our feeder and began shooting. The floodlight was not enough to lower my ISO below 5,000 but it definitely helped with the color. Most photos were taken at 1/2500 sec. I hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.
