[Leica] Anna's Hummingbird

[Don Dory]

The first one is simply amazing.  The eye focus on birds worked very well
indeed :).

To Jim's comment on wing shape,  I noticed the cg forcing the body down
necessitating an increased angle of attack to the wings. Just amazing to
see in a hover.   I see a similar thing in songbirds being refused at a
food source and forced to hover momentarily.   Loverly just to watch.
