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.

Very nice series Vicki, and the blurred background nicely isolates these little guys (and gals).

I was about 7 and standing in the dirt driveway of my great aunts' farm in central Pennsylvania. Next to the farmhouse my aunts had planted beautiful flowers. From a distance I saw what looked like a huge bee around the flowers. I had bright red freckles and red hair at that age. Suddenly, this huge bee (actually a humming bird) flew right in front of my nose, about 6 inches away, and hovered there. I guess because of the "red" on my face and hair, it thought I was a prospect for nectar. Realizing I wasn't the next meal, it flew back to the flowers. That was my first experience with a humming bird, and it was wonderful.

Thanks for those great pictures.
