    Perfect capture! I just read that about the name changing...sounds like a bunch of species will possibly have new names. Posted one year ago

      Thank you! Yes, that may/will happen. Just wonder if the new names will be easier to remember? Can’t see that happening! Posted one year ago

        It's really hard to remember new names with taxonomy changes, at least for me. Posted one year ago

    Great shot. Very difficult to get these little guys in flight and in focus. Posted one year ago

      Thank you William! A couple of factors did help, one is that these hummers are really not afraid of us, so getting close isn’t a problem and as for the focus, I have to say that was all the camera and the flash. Patience does help as well! Posted one year ago

      Thank you. To tell the truth I was just as surprised at how well it turned out. You press the shutter and hope for the best. Posted one year ago
