We have deer, rabbits and coyotees everywhere though so if you think those are cool we got em everywhere.

Hi.
I am Abigail Alfano, the women in the hummingbird photos. My husband, Sam Alfano took the photos. They are real, not photo shopped. The only editing done was some simple cropping and a little brightness and contrast tweaking.
I found this forum and many others by doing a google search for 'hummingbird fly zone'.
When we took these pictures in September, we sent them to our local newspaper THE ERA LEADER (in Franklinton Louisiana) and they were featured on the front page. We then sent them to several of our friends via email, and they have spread like wild fire!
Many of the forums are questioning their authenticity, which I suppose is understandable because it was truly an amazing experience. Next year when they come back, we will shoot video as well.
David Emery from the website
http://urbanlegends.about.com contacted us to get 'the story'. He did his research and did deem them authentic. You can go to his site to read the story.
Also, I have posted the photos on my personal website,
www.AbigailSings.com/hummingbirds I hope you will visit this site. I'd love to hear from anyone with questions or comments. I cannot believe how fast these photos have spread all over the world. We should have put our names on the photos and perhaps contact information. We'll know next time!
Thank You all for your interest.
Abigail Alfano
