Great details in these shots! You've really managed to stop to motion. I like the first one best - looks like there are some bees as well. Is that a some kind of juice that is put there on purpose, for the birds I assume?

Like tiny flying jewels :)

I like the last one with the oof bird and bee in the background, as well as the lovely main subject.

Thank you Toni and Andy. Yes, there are bees around the birds.
I don't know anything about what one puts in a feeder for humming birds.

Nice shots Sury. As far as the feeder goes, it's basically sugar water with red dye. When my folks go camping they set out a feeder. Here's a shot of what I believe to be a Rufous Hummingbird. It's not as great of a shot as Sury's and this particular breed is less colorful.
