Capturing Hummers

[Vern]

Good idea about the background. I sort of liked the dark backdrop behind the bird's head in this one but a little brighter might be good too. I'm hoping a male will show up next w/e. I could test your theories about lighting the throat then.....

We had lots of males in mid-summer but I think our residents have moved on and we need a northern one on the way south to come through. I'm jealous of your riches in the hummingbird variety department - may need to book a trip out west (or Costa Rica one day....) to expand my options.

The wings on this one aren't in the best position, but check out the tongue.


Thanks again, Vern
