Nature Slowed Down

Well, they're somewhat blurry and "painted looking" again, but here are 2 more pictures I took today of one of the Ruby Throated Humming Birds on the feeder at Clare and Josh's place. I used a different camera setting this time, and managed to capture a couple still images of it's wings; wings that beat anywhere from 50-80 times per second! Check them out. :-)

Also, if you look carefully at the pictures I took yesterday, in some of them you can see a small white protrusion from the hummingbird's beak. That's its tongue!
