I've seen hummingbirds but never thier wings. All you see is a blur. Just how fast does a camera have to be to get a picture like that Wes?

Any camera will work, you just have to have a really high shutter speed. Like at least 1/2000th of a second. So, that means good light with good lenses and the right ISO speed settings. Fun to watch them zip around - the hard part is getting them into the viewfinder, into focus, and getting off a couple frames before they move!

They seem to like those tiny red flowers that grow right out of the rock. I've seen them work those a couple times. One got right in front of my face once at the Dome. It was checking me out.I didn't move and it stayed there till I had to feed some rope. I usually hear them before I see them.
