Man have you got these down !! I knew a man in Los Angeles that had 45+ humming bird feeders in his back yard so that he could shoot humming birds at his home all day long.... This is very nice :toast:

AJ, you're nailing these shots! I noticed a major upgrade of your equipment - is this with a prime 400 mm or the 100-400 mm zoom?

Thanks all. Kevin, the only thing new is the camera body. Picked it up a couple months ago as I was not ready to dive into Mark III madness. As for the lens, it is my trusty 400/5.6L. Sharp and super fast AF, even moreso on the 1D. With the 1D, I am now able to mount my 1.4X with the 400/5.6 and retain AF. Couldn't do that with my 20D.

Congrats on the camera I'd love to get one of those and throw away the plastic bags and other raingear that I have to hassle with!

Thes little guys are really cute and pop out from that creamy background.
