Hummingbird

Love these little guys, and love that I can get a shot of them right in my backyard. One of a pair that frequents the feeder.

She's a beauty!

I sometimes get shots of them pooing/peeing (uric acid waste combo). By accident, of course. They just decide to poop all over an otherwise good shot.

Haven't got one of those shots yet.

This one always eats on the fly, her mate though is lazy and sits on the perch. Sometimes they do feed together and I'm looking forward to catching them both on the same shot.

Have to get a feeder to catch them. There are flowers here they like, but HOPELESS for me to catch them when they're there.
