I watched last night, for too many hours. At least now I know the action doesn't really start until 10:30 PM (GMT-4). Now I can nap for a few hours before going bleary eyed.

Wow, nice humming bird!
----------------------------------------You managed to get is so sharp and crisp, really nice! There are so many beautiful birds and other animals in all colours in your area. Here in Sweden we almost only have "grey" animals :) I have a picture that my sister managed to take of some sparrows in mid-air. It's not as nice as yours, but I'll see if I can find it.

I agree, that hummingbird is National Geographic quality no doubt.
----------------------------------------But I really wonder how you convinced that little bird to pose for the picture. Just turn the head a little, spread the wings and stay in front of the lens calm and relaxed. Jean Pierre do you talk bird language   [Edit 1 times, last edit by Hypernova at Mar 31, 2010 7:44:27 AM] |

The last egg is two days overdue and is very unlikely to hatch.
