Two hummingbirds lining up to feed
Since moving to Texas one of the things I really enjoy is just sitting on the back patio at sunrise listening to the world wake up. Recently we picked up a hummingbird feeder - one of our best buys ever! We have at least 4 regular visitors but one is clearly territorial and chases the others off - it is fascinating to watch them dart and have high speed mid-air dog (bird?) fights.
I like how these photos turned out but it's not easy shooting these birds - they are very quick - they remind me of Heather, my better half, bounding over trees or big rocks like a gazelle.
I wonder if I can use these hummingbirds as an excuse for getting a 400mm or bigger telephoto lens?
P.S. Bella the dog was not the least bit impressed by the whole show.
