HummingBird Moth at Bee Balm

It's been quite sometime since I had a chance to snap a few frames of these.
I hadn't see very many for years and they seem to be making a comeback now.
A real Insect oddity of the Northeast if ya ask me.

Really kewl to watch!

My 1st Nature shot of this year....am I bit late?

Just processed 2 more shots which may be a tad better on the contrast?
Sunny area and it's very breezy today here!

Hi Jim, those Hummers have a huge body in comparison to their wing size.
I have seen one of these only once, in Montana.

They are beautiful to watch, hope you get to see and photograph some more......... nice one ... Skippy

Thanx for the kind comments!

Yeah I parted with my Sigy 105mm a while back.
This Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 Macro is a wonderful multifunction lens.
