Hey Merv, here's the 5 people I found in your shot:

of course, copying the posted image, blowing it up and editing it made the resolution take a hit, but at least you get the general idea of what I spotted

Excellent shot of the Avenger Merv!

This Rufous Hummingbird decided to sit on a dead plant on my patio and defend his feeder, I took about thirty shots of him and he just moved in different ways as if posing for me, strange bird.

Great shot Merv. I have humming birds around my home but they never sit still.

Cool hummingbird shot.
We had one that would "swing" on one of our wind chimes. The wind chime had a hoop at the bottom where he would perch and then rock back and forth. I saw him do it several times and it always surprised me.

Outstanding Hummingbird shot, Merv!

That looks like a photo you'd expect to see in a magazine

Thanks guys greatly appreciated, Crimea River I was totally surprised when he just sat on that branch and didn't move, it was liked, well you going to take my picture or not. I can't believe I shot that at 1/60sec, f/5.6 hand held with a 100-200mm Canon lens. Wheels that would make a great video of a Hummer swinging on those chimes. It seems that I am getting more into Photography every day thanks to you all.

Here is a sight I was just told about I hope you can get to it OK, it is absolutely awesome. Cheers guys.

Very nice camera work. I really like the humming bird. Not easy to get the subject to behave for his prorate. Nice Avenger also. I can take a picture but good lord only know if I can take a decent on at any given time.
