    Ruby

    I'm getting some action at the feeders as the hummers prepare to migrate to Mexico for the winter. They are fighting over the feeders because there are few flowers now. I use manual focus, manual exposure and high burst rate. My trick is to focus on the most popular spot on a feeder, then pull out to the left and wait for the action. I think this is the best of today's shots:

    Thanks for the kind words, Trev, Bill, and Peter. The hummers were at it again this morning, and I got some pretty good results. I may be delayed in posting anything because it is a busy week ahead for us; among other things, we have to go down to San Antonio on Wednesday for the quarterly ALS comprehensive clinic, which is always a tiring experience. Luckily, our son will be able to get away and do the driving, because San Antonio traffic is more nightmarish for us even than Austin's.
