Kaper you did great with your photos. I love that second bathing one. I have a lot of problems with the bright sun being in the wrong place too. Mostly, I try to get the pictures in the late afternoon or early morning before the sun really comes up. Don't give up with the photos, I love seeing everyones pictures!

SW was right, my Rufous was just opening its mouth and talking to me. Think I caught this picture just as it was tucking its tongue back inside.

Ever hear how the hummingbirds survive the cold nights? I just got this from Journey North. They have regular emails to anyone that signs up and it's pretty interesting. When you get to the link, after reading the first page, click on "Next" for the next few pages.

My hummers are really enjoying the pollen on the Carolina Jasmine vines.
