A kid with a toy.

I feel like a kid with a new toy as I walk each day around Victoria in the plus double digit temperature and think about the double digit minus temp and ice and snow back home. I can't seem to get enough of this little Anna's Hummingbird. It was overcast today and I was able to capture the wonderful colour of the feathers as the bird was shaking its tail.
Also got images of a Bewick's Wren which is a new species for me to see and photograph.

Great shots of these little birds. Interesting to see the results when a Real Bird Photographer(TM) starts shooting the species that hang out around my house

That's got to be so cool to be in much warmer weather. Yesterday morning when I work up in New Mexico it was 30 degrees out, by the time I got to California later in the day as I was traveling, it was 82 degrees out. That was quite the swing!

I sure like this, catching hummingbirds is something I have rarely been able to capture. So that has to be cool as well.

Very nice Trent. Did you replace the background on the hummingbird?

Great images, Trent. That first one is exceptional.

These photos could have been taken in my backyard. Wonderful photos, Trent. A+++

Thakns Kevin. I suppose in a way I did replace the BG. I used Lightroom to make a mask and darkened the background a bit.
