 These little guys show up in the late afternoon/early evenings. I shoot them through the back window, so this is through glass. I have a heck of a time getting the 70-200 to focus, though! Don't know if it's the glass or the lack of contrast. At any rate, this one was a pretty good catch. JPEG resized to 800, sharpened using Sharpen in Photoshop.

Normally not to keen on all those humming birds images, but this one is quite nice, just shows how small they are. Great bokeh as well.
