Hummingbirds seem to like Butterfly bushes too.

Maybe it is trying to do a butterfly impersonation. Top rate shot of that Hummer, Gregg. They don't get any better than that.

They look so much better on a flower then at a feeder Eggz. Superb capture. They have been scarce around here as have the butterflies. Must have something to do with the weather.

WOW Gregg this is an Spectular close up with so much detail and fabulous clarity. We have a few ruby throated hummies around her. What kind is it?

Beautiful action shot. Their wings move so fast and you've captured it with no blur Gregg - great job.

My dad would be totally flipping if he saw this. He spent years with a Cannon 35mm AE-1 trying to do what you did. Stopped the hummingbird's wings. Totally stunning in your clarity. Gorgeous!

Yet another magnificent photo, but this one, well, I know how difficult it is to get Hummingbird photos. So this is to be cherished. You do so great with your birdies, thank you so much for bringing them to us. Verena
