Beautiful, is all I can say.

Very nice, great focus! Not easy to nail the eye like that.

Great shot Dan! I may have to go to Tucson and get you to teach me how to do these shots.

Thanks Mark. I know. Most of my shots have to be trashed.

Thank you Bob. I don't think I'm good enough to teach anybody yet, but even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while

Great shot. I have been wanting one like this for years. Good work...better than the one with the feeder.

Thanks Joyce. I was very lucky with this one.

That is super Dan! Not having the feeder makes a huge difference

Sweet! I've got those plants in my yard too. One morning I planted myself in a lawn chair in front of the house and sat there waiting for the hummers. Never did get anything nearly as good as this shot, so needless to say I'm a bit envious.

I hear you. I stood outside by the feeder waiting for hummers, and this guy went right for the plant. It was quite fortunate.

I'm thinking of going to South Pedro based on your post Any recommendations on where to stay. The nice places are quite expensive this time of year.
