The hummingbirds are back in Pie Town. I don’t know if they are just passing through or setting housekeeping but I took this one yesterday.
Taken 04 May 2008, Pie Town, New Mexico
Canon 1D Mark III, EF 300mm 1:2.8 L IS USM with Extender 2x II
, f/13, 1/2500, ISO 1600, AI Servo mode, Spot Metering Mode
Sunny day with slight haze
Tentative identification; Broad Tail Hummingbird
As usual the focus is not as sharp as I would have liked but then it rarely is. His/Her maneuvering was so quick that the auto focus was not able to keep up even with Canon’s newest firmware Ver. 1.2.3 update.

The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.

I am truly in awe of anyone who can get that sharp a picture of a bird on the wing (and a little jealous too).
