These guys couldn't get enough today. They flew constant circles around my yard (and cat) to feed. They are awesome to watch (and to hear their wings).
My off camera flash died and I had to change to my on camera flash but this one turned out pretty good I think.
This is a series of shots I took of the ugliest hummingbird that I ever saw. I wonder if it was diseased. It was comming to my feeders on my deck in mid-August. I saw it on a couple of different days.
Playing with my new Canon 7D and Canon 400mm f5.6 Prime! Decided to make the jump from Nikon D7100 to this combo. Day one and all is good!

At a campsite at Lago di Garda we found these unusual moths which look uncannily like a hummingbird- despite the lack of hummingbirds outside of America!

The tan background is the blurred fence around my yard.
I block all the holes but one in my feeder and remove the perch, forcing the bird to hover. The sensor in the 5DMII produces really clean ISO 1600/3200 images so I was able to get a fast enough shutter speed to partially stop the wings.
What a performer! About 6 big lenses were clicking away near Yuba Pass as this little guy stretched and flashed his gorget.

Hummingbirds drink nectar, a sweet liquid inside certain flowers. Most hummingbird species have bills that are long and straight or nearly so. Hummingbirds feed in many small meals, consuming many small invertebrates and up to twelve times their own body weight in nectar each day. Hummingbirds are typically very territorial when it comes to food; once a hummingbird finds a consistent source of food such as an artificial feeder, it will fight off other hummingbirds to maintain complete dominance over the food source. :)
