Attack of the Hummingbirds!
Hi gang,
Well, the last post was a bust. I wanted to talk about avian cognitive function, and somehow the discussion devolved into human nasal nastiness... You guys are killing me...
But thanks for the comments, and keep them coming!
Onward...
How about those hummingbirds? Without a doubt, they are some of the toughest backyard birds to photograph, and yet we got a couple of nice shots for you.
The first was of a male Costa's Hummingbird attracted to an eBirdseed.com feeder located on Kathy and IJ Gorman's digs in Las Vegas Nevada.
The next was a pic I got using the NovaBird... I set up the camera such that it was focused in one particular opening in the feeder rather than just the center of the feeder itself. It's a risky approach, because if the conditions aren't perfect, the results will be zipoid. This time, I got lucky. Here's a respectable photo of a female Ruby Throat...
Anyway, hope you enjoy...
Remember that there are 1,457 photos now in our Flickr Library, including these new pictures.
'Til later, see you by those feeders,

P.S. Expect an upcoming review of eBirdseed's new "Sumseeds", an energy boosting sunflower seed for humans. (Hey... If Tony Gwynn likes 'em, there must be something there!)
