well captured - there seems to be an abundance of hummingbirds in this collection for 9-11 gallery

Awesome shot, Raymond! Which variety is this? I notice the white stripe at the eye's edge... Super Action shot with wonderful details! I've yet to get an opportunity to get a shot like this! I have 3 feeders in my yard.

Thank you all for your kind comments! Renee, I think this might be a Fiery-throated Hummingbird, hard to say without looking at him from the front, but I am pretty sure it is. I have been shooting hummers for a while now, and the best results I have gotten so far are with the help of a fill flash. You may want to try that. Cheers.
