to tangle.

Disputes over whose turn it is at the feeder... two male Anna's hummingbirds get aggressive.

More hummingbirds here in my hummer gallery: [link]

I could hear their wings hitting at times :wow:

we only have a couple birds this time of year and while I miss them, I sure don't miss filling the feeders every day :laughing:

Excellent job! I've had no luck photographing hummingbirds, but your photos are beautiful.

Thanks so much! Having the time to hang around the feeder for several hours (and taking a ton of shots:giggle:) helps with the luck :D

Oh noooo! Don't think that!! I felt the same when I first started watching Walt...practice helps, but mostly it is confidence and having the birds be used to you. And as always - lots and lots of shots :giggle:

I was so thrilled that I got this fight!

Lots of the incredible hummer shooters here on dA spend lots of time and energy with flashes and strobes and I know that I should pay more attention, but I'm not usually willing to give up that much time :giggle: the sun coming over my shoulder works pretty darn well :D

I know what you mean...it would really be a hassle to set up strobes and all that all the time but I'm simply gonna have to try...the results are too interesting. :nod: I know, I do get some good shots, but they just look so drab compared to yours and Walts. :(
