Thanks Juan...we only have two species (Anna and Rufous) here so not up to CR standards but luckily both are stunners...

Can't wait for the Hummingbirds to show up here, though with the recent "Spring" temperatures below freezing, it might be June. Great set Geoff!

It's not even remotely possible to pick a favorite. These are all exquisite Geoff. If I had to pick just one though it would have to be 3.

Very nice set; many unique images. Even though 1/800th is slow for most BIFs, especially hummingbirds, it made a great shot in the first image.
Thanks. I find that hummingbirds can be shot down to about 1/100 (although you get less keepers that slow). Mostly because all hummingbird shots are really in hover and not in flight. I'm usually comfortable shooting at 1/400 with a high percentage of keepers but you only get the hover shots. When light allows I like to go up to 1/2500 or more and then you get the lucky shots where the hummer darts towards the flower or feeder for more interesting poses.
