Yard Birds

Today I focused on a couple of Hummingbirds and a Scrub Jay. Light was filtered by a light cloud covering. All were shot with a Canon 7D and 150-600mm Tamron lens mounted on a tripod.
The first two are of the Jay as he tried to maintain his rather precarious perch in the wind.
Nos. 3, 4, and 5 are of male Anna's Hummingbirds. The iridescent throat feathers change as the light hits them.
The last shot is of a juvenile (I believe) Anna's. It appears to be in the process of getting new feathers without showing the more colorful ones seen on the adults. It was the farthest away at 40-50 feet and a bit wind-blown.

These are all excellent, Vicki. The two Jay shots are particularly outstanding.

All are sharp and I particularly like the scrub jays. Here in Central Florida there is a huge effort to save them and most images I have they are banded.

You do know that "Yard Birds" is/was a nickname for inmates in a prison, right? 
Oh, nice collection of birds.
