This flash photo was taken through a double pane glass window, and it still worked!

For having been taken through a double pane of glass the sharpness is amazing. Well done.

The flashes were all outside about a foot from the bird. The noise from the camera was more upsetting to the birds than the flashes. I closed the widow to muffle the camera noise. The birds liked that. I took this photo at about a 45 degree angle to the closed glass window.
Wow! A beauty!

Hummingbirds are tough to get. But when you get a good shot it's very rewarding. Good job.

Ya, but I was not smart enough to think of that. It was just dumb luck because that's the way my windows are built.

Don't the flashes startle the birds?

At first but they get used to it.

Please share your technique for keeping your windows so clear. Lovely shot!
Nothing special. Just water and a paper towel, and just in the part the lens looks through.
