Geez those humming birds look good! I was trying to get some myself (not as good of course), but unfortunately, the bees have found my feeders. I took them down and I plan on putting them back up in a couple days. Hopefully no bees will come back. Here's a chickadee from this morning:
ps. Everyone was right. The 400 f5.6L is way more fun than the 300 f4L IS! Unfortunately it's only a loaner from my father so these bees need to get lost before it starts getting cold!

Nevermind. My sentinel hummer is still guarding the feeder location. Looks like there will be humming bird shots this year after all!

I felt bad for my sentinel and re-hung my feeders. My girlfriend is not happy, as the bees are now back. But oh well...

DSEIGEL.....I like your sentinel pix. I have an alpha male and alpha female lording over my feeders and garden....boy they can have some royal battles. I'm just not quick enough to catch them.
Joel.....I've used up my thesaurus on your pix, so just accept this for your 2 m RTHBs pix; OUTSTANDING!!

Thanks for looking

OOPS!![:$]
Sorry for the double post, I got an error message the first try so I hit post again and voila! both came up.
Thanks for the kind words Bill, nice frontal shot by the way, I love the inquisitive pose. It's always a surprise to see what you have after you press the shutter on these little jewels.
Another from this morning.....why did you get me started Bob?[8-|]

Here is a challenge for all of you Humming Bird experts, how about a front on shot of the whole bird while hovering?
