    I finally got a shot of two hummingbirds together. If you have ever tried to get a shot of them you know they move fast...you can see the tail of the one sitting.

    Sherry your photographs are amazing. Can I ask what type of camera you use to take your shots?

    Eileen...I like canon cameras and I stick with those so I can use my different lens with all of them. This camera is a T4i. I did shoot all pictures except the butterfly through the window glass. It is hard to pick a camera but I like getting mine through Walmart or QVC so you can try it out and return it within 30 days if it isn't what you want. No restocking fees at our stores.

    EOS
    Rebel T4i
    EOS 650D

    Enjoy the pictures greatly. I have been waiting to see some where I just set up 4 feeders but haven't had time to watch a while. Thanks for giving me the idea to stop my world and watch and maybe have my camera along too.

    Great job as usual! Especially on getting two hummers in one pic.

    I'm pretty loyal to Canon camera's too. 8)

    We're a strange family Sherry. My husband loves hs Canon while my oldest son prefers Nikon. Me ... well I'm a Panasonic Lumix fan. If I could take pictures like yours with any type of camera I'd be well chuffed.

    Beautiful photos Sherry. I agree with Frank: I like the reflection in the bird feeder too. I also particularly like the strong colors of the last two photos: orange & purple. There is no better combination than that!

    Wow great photos Sherry, you must've been quick to take them as those hummingbirds do move fast!
