    Great shots. The bird you questioned is either a golden or ruby crowned kinglet. I'd have to see the back of the head to be sure. They only winter where I am. Those are just some great shots, great color and sharpness.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Not only did you stop the action of the wings, it looks like you stopped the action of his eylids too in that first one! :D

    Great shots of the hummer! Wow!

    I think that the small bird with the yellow in her wings is a pine siskin but I'd like to see the beak in profile too.

    The grey bid is a junco, I am thinking.

    Last bird - not something i'm familiar with.

    Good shots - little birdies are hard to catch sitting still.

    You could be right :D
    I figured it was the Nik membrane which most wild animals have.
    I must admit to never having seen that on a hummer, mainly lage predators like hawks and such ne_nau.gif
