Are you Dr. Dolittle in disguise?

KC -- 'Right, guys. I need to take a photo for Bird Forum.'
Hummerbird -- 'Sure thing, KC. How do you want me?'
KC -- 'Thanks, Hummer. If you could just hover over that leaf and sip the water from it, that would be great.'
Hummerbird -- 'Like this, KC?'
KC -- 'Nearly there, little guy. A touch more to the right, and, oh, stretch the wings out a tad, if you would.'
Hummerbird -- 'How's this, KC?'
KC -- 'Smokin', my friend.' [click].
Hummerbird -- 'Same time tomorrow, KC?'
KC -- 'You bet, little bird.'

It's the only explanation I can think of for your scintillating shots, Comrade.
Top class.
