Doug,

This photo is just beautiful. I love hummingbirds. A few years ago my  
wife and I were camping in the New Jersey Pinelands by the shore. We  
had three Hummingbird feeders hanging close to the trailer. We  
normally would get 1 or 2 hummingbirds all day long. One day hundreds  
of the birds swarmed around the feeders for about 10 minutes. I was  
lucky to get a video of the scene.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful photo.
Len
