HI Gene,
I agree 9620 is the  best - because of the shadow of the head and beak on 
the wing. Getting closer is always an option but my hummers are a skittish 
lot - still worth a try. About extenders; the 2X is too soft - the 1.7X is 
just marginally acceptable - and I don't (yet) have a 1.4X which by reports 
is quite good. This is on the 80 - 400 VR zoom which by itself is very good. 
All food for thought.
Cheers
Howard

Howard,

All very nice, but I like the last one best.  As for cropping, you just have 
to get closer, or use a tele-extender. ;)
