Camera Critters -- another peeping tom

I was working at home and on the phone with an associate when I walked over to the french door leading out to the lake. This little hummingbird was trying to tell me something! I grabbed the camera with one hand, poked the lens through the blinds on the door and shot this without letting my associate know that I wasn't really paying attention to him!

My, I was surprised that this was a hummingbird. I thought it was something much larger! Aren't they the nosiest little birds? They are always peeking in my windows and doors to see what I am doing!

If you would like to visit my Camera Critters, they are here and here.

We put up a feeder outside a window yesterday and now I'm obsessed with getting a shot of the hummers at it. So far they see me coming and disappear!

I too was surprised this was a hummingbird. I love the speed their wings flap together. Don't they have the fastest flapping wings of any bird? I don't know, I thought I heard that once?
