Richard: those are great shots.

I have taken hundreds of?photos of the?Anna's hummingbird which resides at the north end of the Edmonds marsh next to the doggy daycare.? The bird has 4-5 perches where it regularly poses for me.??? I had read that hummingbirds eat insects.? One day while examining my day's photos on the computer, ?I was surprised to see that I had three shots of the hummingbird tracking a small flying insect.? I did not realize that when I was taking the photos and I don't?know?whether or not it went?after the?bug. ?
