Hello Luggers,
It is a bright sunny almost summer California style day and the hummers are 
feeding early. So the light is great!
Here are two shots - just taken with the XE 1 and the 55 - 200 zoom. I 
prefocus on the blossom
and then pivot to catch the Hummingbird. I don't get as many in focus shots 
as with the
Nikon 300 on the D800E but I think you'll agree that when I nail it the 
results from the XE 1
are very very nice.

Please look large - C&C always welcome. I think these are Rufous - not Anna 
- but welcome any correction as to types.

Howard (hummingbird happy on sunny Pender today)
