Hummingbird?



We thinks this is a hummingbird?

It was fluttering around pretty fast, but he knew how to stop action it. It's handy having a technically minded boyfriend.

edit *does anyone know what this is? it had a fat body but flew super fast, while in place, like a hummingbird. but do hummingbirds have antennae as Susan pointed out??*

shutter speed as high as the xti would go! the d300 can do 1/8000 though, i don't know when i'm ever going to have that much light to use.
