A tough one to catch but I´ve got him nailed down to this flower. Now if the sun would just stay out so I can get some sharper images...

Nice photos, Peter!
It's raining here this morning, so not much action this Christmas morning!

ˇFelices Fiestas!

Wow! Great shot, what a neat looking hummer. I guess he needs that long tail to balance that incredible bill. Thanks for the picture!

Wow! Thanks for capturing these shots and sharing. I know how much time goes into getting photos of hummers.

Great shots of a Tawny-bellied Hermit! The 2nd one is really excellent.

Excellent species Peter ! and great flight shots of a bird that I am sure is difficult to photograph.

Great pix, as always!! That bill looks like it could puncture a can. Very unusual tail, too.
