Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hummers are coming to town

Been hot and dry here and the hummers are out of the hills. Cookie spent about an hour sitting in the rig by one of her feeders.



A little sharper when they're sitting still

We think immature Rufus or possibly a Rufus female

Canon EOS 7D Mk ll, ISO 200, 1/2000 sec, at F4, with a Canon 500 mm lens.
Second image same rig but ISO 250 and 1/640 sec.
Not much depth of field there.

Sorry, no hooker shots.

AWESOME CAPTURE!!!!

so crisp it looks like it has eye lashes

Annas?

We're now seeing this year's brood of little black-chins. They're gulping down my nectar as fast as they can. Last year, they started migrating in mid-August. Hope they hang around a bit longer this year. It's a long, sad time until they come back in April.

Edit to say: Forgot to applaud you for that truly remarkable photo. May I save it for my own use as a wallpaper?

Rocky: If Cookie lets me put it up, it's public. Might get a little better resolution if one goes to the Postimage site.

Have a good one,

Thanks, good sir. I know that anything here is public, but always ask.

Great snaps. Thanks for posting.
