They do sound like hummingbirds. I chased it around a garden forever to get just a few shots. I did not realize it was not a hummingbird until I looked at the pictures.
Thanks, Ben

Nice capture, Ben! For your information, what you have here is called a Hummingbird Hawk Moth. I just learned this myself a few days ago... check this one out: http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1341031 Oh, and I read where they sound like hummingbirds when they fly so I can see how you thought that is what it is. A very interesting creature for sure. I hope I can see one live one day. Best wishes, Brigitte
