Decent.... you say!!! Oh the modesty comes out. This is outright awsome Don. I guess you are going to have to carry that darned playhouse every where with you, if not for the photographic effects you achieve in there but for a good luck charm, I'd say!!! Wonderfully enchanting and a winner of a photograph.

I like how you captured it hovering in the air with the beautiful color on the feathers visible. I had one hover like this infront of me for almost a minute and I heard it making a very shrill cheeping sound. I didn't know they made any sounds except with their wings.

Thanks everyone!

Yes Lorraine, I was in the playhouse......, again :-).

I think he was sticking his tounge out at me Alex :-).

Alandra, we get the Rubythroated hummers and that is it. I'd love to see some different types like the rufous, but I'll have to travel to see them.

Thanks again all. Don
