A hummingbird decided to hover in front of me this evening. I had just enough time to focus and squeeze off a single frame, before it flew away.

Thanks for looking!

I'll take that! Although it is possible, the hummingbird flew in to focus just as I clicked.

Very nicely caught David.

I took some of the HB's around the feeder yesterday and hope to post them later.--charliezap

Thank you! The HB's haven't been so cooperative this year. I told my wife, I'm going to stop feeding them if they don't start posing for me every once in a while
