    My family visited friends in their cabin outside Creede, Colorado at 10,000 feet. They had a lot of hummingbirds & I got some good shots.

    One flew ino the enclosed porch. I tried to shoo it out, but it kept hitting the windows. I caught it, let my daughter touch it & released it.

    My, those flying jewels are so pretty. :D I wish we had them here but we don't. Just as well, since I'd probably be sitting there watching them instead of doing anything.

    Your photos are fantastic, I love to watch the hummingbirds. We only have the ruby-throated here in TN. What camera do you use?
