1. That is astounding!

That’s a photo contest winner some day! Beautiful bird, light, and shadow.

[Walleye]

2. Thank you. The birds are especially active this week maybe fledglings I'm not sure.

And we are getting that high summer afternoon light

These are astonishing photos. Brilliant work!

11. We love and feed them, but they only pass thru during their spring and fall migration

[Walleye]

13. These usually come in the spring to nest in the sweet gum trees, all summer

Middle of May through the middle of September

Unfortunately, none of the photos was visible to me, it's asking me to upgrade to premium and I can't click on them as they don't seem to be links.
I love hummingbirds so I would love to see these photos.
Have a glorious day!

[Walleye]

15. Oh, I'm sorry I'll see if I can find some other other way to post them

[JMCKUSICK]

17. It must be my laptop, as everyone else seems to see them, I'm just jealous lol

[Be The Light]

20. I can't see it either n/t

[greblach]

21. same here. Can't see. NT

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. It's not you. Postimage throttles hard. OP & other still see them from their browser cache. . . . . nt

[mwmisses4289]

34. Nope, just see the same blue boxes you are seeing.

Seems to be something with that particular photo hosting website that for some of us our particular browsers don't like.

[Polly Hennessey]

29. Same problem on my phone. Can't see.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Imgur doesn't throttle. . . . . nt

33. FWIW

I came across a site last week that makes image uploading and embedding really easy:
https://imgbb.com/

You don’t have to create an account nor download an app. After you upload an image you can right click on it and use the share option to open it in your browser and that gives you a link you can embed. Easy as pie.

Seemed almost too good to be true, but it totally works. Way easier than imgur, Flickr, photobucket etc.

22. I imagine...

... you've garnered enough WOWs, so I'll just ask:

what shutter speed enables such clarity of wing detail of a creature that can beat its wings as much as 500 times a second?

Oh, and magnificent photography!

[Walleye]

24. Yes, I read somewhere as fast as 1200 times per second. The shutter speed is 1/8000 of a second F5.6, very bright sun.

And thank you.

[GiqueCee]

35. Thanks for the info...

... We are graced with a great many Ruby-Throated hummers every year. We're located at 710 ft. above sea level, but surrounded by mountains of considerably higher elevation, which is where hummers nest and sleep in a sort of suspended animation, because the night air is warmer there, and their metabolism is so high that starve to death before dawn.
But I'll bet you knew all that.

23. all i gett is upgrade to prenium.

[Walleye]

25. Don't know why. Another person on this thread is having the same problem.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

30. Postimage throttles hard. Clear your cache and logout of your membership and you may see the same.

Postimage gives a very limited number of views to the public and then they shut it off.

Postimage is not very good. Try Imgur.

26. Same here..

[tibby3k]

27. Same here
