This was a far reach for the equipment,so took a big crop. This was taken some time ago. I think I saw my last hummingbird on Oct. 11th. I'm going to leave the feeders up for a few more days for any that might be passing through.

I googled information on these fascinating little birds. They can travel 500 miles in a 24 day, and will fly over open water instead of taking a longer route to follow the shoreline.

I'm going to miss them!

I appreciate your comments, thank you.

Another splendid 'action shot' of one of the hummingbirds.
I agree with Richie about shutter speed. Must be an extremely brief shutter opening time to achieve this 'frozen' result (no visible motion of the wings). My compliments, my friend!

I too will miss them and the monarchs - it was such a good year for both of them and my flowers this summer really attracted the hummers! This is just lovely Sandi - S&F.

That newer equipment of yours, Sandi, is making for some knock-out images. Every technical element of good photography has its box checked in this shot. And here I was counting myself lucky to have seen my first hummingbird, in the feather, to coin a phrase, in my backyard last year.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Wonderful action shot! I am sure you used a very fast shutter speed 1/6000 or around there. Sorry for being silly, but the title of this image sounds like a real bad 1970's detective drama that would air after 8pm during the week. "Next time on Hummingbird and Lilly, Hummingbird gets taken hostage while Lilly searches all over town for her." LOL!!
