This is a flight of a different type



I've been trying for a few weeks now to get a shot of the elusive, and very cautious, hummingbird. We have had the feeder out since late May - early, I thought, given the distance that they travel - and we had our first sighting shortly after putting it out. Since then I've been sitting on the porch trying to capture a half decent shot. Unfortunately they tend to move extremely quickly when they are feeding. This meant many a blurry image or no image at all, they move that fast.

This morning I was lucky though. This one stayed long enough for me to snap a few high speed shots. They are awesome to watch.

I still haven't attempted to use the high speed zone on my camera yet - I'm still using AUTO!! LOL
