Wow, what a shot, the Hummer is just "frozen" in the air! Love the glittering feathers... and the tongue out! :) Very good! :up:

Excellent shot. I can't wait until spring when they come back. They are my favorite bird to photograph.

Nice one.
I think I may know that bird! ;)

The Adventure farm hummers were very cooperative -especially the Jacobins.
