Humming Birds are migrating through Missouri, on their way to central america. Normally they are very territorial, but this time of year they will tolerate others at the feeders.

Kudos for the in flight capture. It looks like the ISO may be quite high causing some strong grain (I suppose to allow you shutter headroom to stop the wings). I'd like to get a feeder like this for my backyard.
Superb composition. Brilliant capture of the flying bird as well/
The only problms are the image is a bitgrainy and the colours could be brightened a little.
Its amazing that you actually caught all those hummingbirds at the feeder like that! Extra Kudos for that, but the lighting could have been better. The birds tend to blend in with the green in the backround, and they dont pop like they should. The only thing that is real noticable in this picture is the feeder. But like I said the shot is amazing of so many hummingbirds in one setting especailly the flying one.
The base of the bird feeder is in focus. To me, the focus should be on the hummingbird on the left, or at least have all of the birds be as much in focus as the feeder.
Four?! No wonder I see so few of them; you're hogging all the hummingbirds!! Amazing. Image might benefit from a bit of a contrast boost as it's a little washed out.
