p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Evidence as to why I shoot cats

Because it took me all summer to even photograph a hummer and THIS is the best I could do

The juvis are headed south and they gave me a day or two as they stopped over to refuel.

Nothing wrong with these Eric. You got some marvelous poses and a nice clean background.

Birds don't like cats, Eric, and the first one is telling you what he thinks of your previous efforts

Nice hummers, by the way

#4 is the special image here. I've had many hummers this year, yet I haven't found a way to capture them very well. I'll send a few your way for another shoot.

I understand you!

Then again, who am I to say, we do not have hummers at all

We only have one kind of wild cat, I have seen it once in wild(no evidence), so I should not judge at all.

Wait, they are good pictures.

Thanks Birdie...frustrating that I couldn't get them to go to the flowers but at least I was able to get full frame shots...some even using extension tubes.

Gero
Thanks Gero...in fact one of the reasons I think we don't get as many hummers as I would like is due to the neighbor's outside cats....we often find feathers about from some of the other birds and I did witness an ambush once of a house finch.

We have a number of wild cats but oddly, they don't seem to want to be in my neck of the woods....I couldn't imagine the fear if someone sighted a mountain lion in the woods behind our house.....I think there may be more mountain lions in California than lions in South Africa....scary thought!
