More Hummingbirds from Ecuador.. The Rufous-tailed Hummer reminds me very much of the Broad-billed Hummer here in SE Arizona, with its red bill.

Just bought the Sony HX1 and am trying it out. For a point and shoot....it's not too bad. Some images are noisy and I have to run them through a noise program. Overall, I'm satisfied with it so far....... I still want to do more test shots though.
Full zoom, burst mode 5f/s, cropped with picasa and ran though noiseware.
A little fun with the 70-200 at the hummingbird feeder.
Canon 5DII with 70-200 f4.
I am very impressed with this lens. It has always been a favorite but the detail I got here was superb, if you view it large you can actually see the ant's eyes!
By doing some research, I discovered that this is a female Ruby-throated hummingbird.
These are fast and flighty little buggers! ISO (light-sensitivity) 3200, shutter speed 1/1250 of a second, and full zoom on my 250mm lens and still cropped in a good bit. Again, I said they were flighty.
I heard one and saw two hummingbirds today, but the light was so bad, they were so fast, and I was too slow to even attempt a shot. It was great to see them, as I was getting a little hummingbird withdrawal. So, from the archives, is a little male Costa's Hummingbird from my trip to Tucson back in September.
