Wouldn't you mind to share your settings, light conditions, etc... ?

Thanks Irma i am glad that you liked them. i dont mind sharring my settings at all.
I was shooting in AV mode @ f4-5.6 depending on how far i zoomed .
i would change my ISO when my sutter speed to try keep my ss above 1/1000th ( 1/2500 th a lot too ) .
i have heard that there wings beat over 1000 times a second so i was trying to freeze there wings more .
Thanks Irma ...... Shawn

Thanks Shawn...
This is great information, because I didn't know how fast you had to shoot.
Again, your pictures are great. I know they are so difficult to photograph, and I didn't know you had them in your place.

I have heard that too, so you have done well to get anything reasonable .
They are smaller than most birds as well, I believe.
