My Little Garden Friend

Thanks Beerman, got it to work! Never get tired of watching these little guys.

Awesome photos!!!

You definitely got it to work! Fabulous!

Outstanding! I have to ask though, is this in SXM??

Yes, different location and a different bird from last year although it's still a green throated caribe, which you normally see on SXM. I took a lot of him and these were the best three.

Just beautiful! Thanks so much for posting!

You're welcome. Just realized I dumped my other bird <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> so have just replaced him with the newbie.

Great photos. The hummingbird...the only bird that can fly backwards.

Yes, I saw that. Both are beautiful, for sure!

Way to go! Very nice photo's <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> These are for you...

Oh wow, that second one is awesome!

I deleted my Photobucket account and started a new one and had a senior moment, forgot it would dump all my photos!

Awesome! Where did you capture the crested hummer? I got a poor shot of one in St. Bart's last year. I've already put feelers out to hubby to go back next year to see if I can get a better one; he is all for it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />

"crested hummer" so that's what it is <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> it was taken from a St John villa that overlooks the Sir Francis Drake Channel.

Full name: Antillean Crested Hummingbird. They are found throughout the Caribbean. Haven't seen one on SXM yet, they may inhabit the higher reaches of the island.

Just another reminder that some of the best things in life really are free. You just have to be aware. Beautiful photos. Thank you.

We just love birds!! Hummingbirds are incredible little creatures. The SXM Zoo has some really nice bird exhibits.
You take some great pictures. What kind of camera do you use?

Great pics.. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

I have a Nikon D3100 camera (gift from hubby); was using a 70-300mm telephoto lens for the bird photos.

Same camera and lens I have! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Beautiful pictures. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

They're a great camera and I love using the telescopic lens for birds, flowers and animals. I can get to within a good shooting distance of my subject, without scaring them off.

I haven't used my telephoto much recently, haven't really made the time. I should.

I'm the opposite, I use mine most of the time. Hubby has a Nikon D800 and he wants to buy a new lens for it; he prefers my 70-300 mm for taking photos, so with the new lens we can compete with one another for the best shot. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
