    Absolutely brilliant shots, Strongy! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

    It's difficult to say which one I like best - the hummingbirds in flight, the Bald Eagle, the Warbler ...............

    I bet you had the most wonderful time travelling around seeing all these interesting places and birds. I hope you will be posting more photos for us to see. Thanks for sharing. :)

    Plenty more Kedi, at the risk of boring folk!!:rolleyes:
    Walnut, the Hummers were at three different places but I never saw one on a flower, only the feeders.

    OK here is a few not so good Hummers, these were all female. Most were seen at 'comfort stops' on the tour so didn't have the time to sit and watch for long. I was surprised they came out as well as they did with no tripod.

    There were quite a few Ospreys around but only got this one overhead on the Snake river.
