A few more hummers. First two R7 with 200-800. The last one is technically terrible (Nikon P1000 @ ISO 1600), but it was a cute scene.

I really like the first one, Beautiful shot. Well done!

Beautifully photographed in its natural habitat. I love the bird's pose.

Thanks. Seeing it in the wild while out in the jungle was a real thrill, but photographing it was almost impossible. This particular one was photographed at a blind.

Please forgive a fellow experimental scientist for using your image to test those theories - after all as Max Planck wrote: "Experiments are the only means of knowledge at our disposal, the rest is poetry, imagination." (especially what's on Facebook).
