After seeing the amazing u-tube post (thank you Ian Paulson!) I remembered watching a lone bird behaving oddly over Lake Chabot in the Bay Area. It was high above me and the only lens I had with me was a Canon 70-300 IS. I took three shots anyway and was not surprised to find the images too small to be of interest. Today I went back and enlarged them and even though they are grainy that Hummingbird was indeed feeding in a small swarm of Gnats.

Anyone interested can see the sequence of three images at the following links.
