Hello All,

I'm excited to find this site and begin learning.

I live in Oregon and have a resident Anna's Hummingbird, male who hangs around my window near the feeder. I call him Gazoo after some old cartoon character - actually this is Gazoo III since he's the third male to try to dominate one of my feeders.

Just got a Canon PowerShot and finally got a decent photo. I'm hoping it's attached(?)

I look forward to learning of others experiences and sharing photos!

Thank you Robin!

I edited the photo so it's not so small. Much better.

Hi Lisa, Andy & Robin

Thank you for the tip about posting my photo in the gallery. Can you tell me how to enter the monthly competition? I think I might have missed this option when I posted in the gallery, perhaps.

Thank you for the encouragement and assistance!

I think there's still a day or so left to upload it to the January competition, and it's 'anything goes' month, so you're fine for the subject matter.
The competion thread for january is here..please take note of the rules and what happens.

In fact, I've moved your photo into the competition category for you... it seems to follow all of our guidelines for the competition.
If you wish me to remove it form there, let me know.
Please still read the competition thread link I posted in my previous message to understand how the process works regarding the fact that only 30 photos are put into voting round and that photos that don't quite make it to that round are moved to their respective categories, i.e. Bird of North America).

Best regards,
Andy
