Help me name my hummie
This little guy visits frequently and seems to defend the feeder against two other birds which I also see pretty often. But this guy is my most regular customer ... seems like he should have a name, don't ya think?

Re: Help me name my hummie
How about "Lancelot" if he's defending the feeder from other birds? 
I know the name fits with their beaks! :grin:

Re: Help me name my hummie
how close were you when you took the picture? and what kind of camera? I tried to get some pics of a hummingbird the other day, but was too far away... were you inside the window from it?

Re: Help me name my hummie
Walela is the Cherokee Indian name for hummingbird. You could call him Wally.

Re: Help me name my hummie
I took the picture with a Nikon D50 (6 megapixels) using a 300mm f/4 lens and 1.4TC from about 8 feet away using a tripod and no flash.
