BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Plenty of hummingbirds coming through the nearby mountains. Mainly seeing the Rufous's but occasionally the others stop by. On Sunday, I spent most of the day just observing them in different patches of flowers along a ridge. At times, the battles were epic, with anywhere from two to six of the little guys vying for the same patch of blooms.

Hello all, my first post to the BIF thread. Some great shots here on this thread, I hope I can keep up.

Those are truly excellent shots ! That mid-air snail inspection is really something ...

I also went and checked out your website, which only confirmed this first impression, with many more stunning shots. That kingfisher series on your blog ... my jaw is still on the floor.

Congrats and thanks for sharing !

Thanks so much for your humbling comments. I work hard at my bird photography. It is nice to know others see the work as well executed.
