When I can get outside when the sun is setting and not so hot I set up my camera and try to capture the hummingbirds. The male is easy, the female is sneaky!She always goes to the opposite siide of the feeder

He doesn't care if I am there or not... here he comes

still coming in

he must have stayed 5 minutes, all the shots I got were the same, non stop drinking

bye bye...

Absolutely wonderful shots!

WOW I just love hummers!! YOu take great pics!!! tfs.

Great pics. I like your feeder. I have two-one which is somewhat flat and the other is a tube but it has yellow cage-like covers for the nectar dispensers which fall off. The orioles drink out of both and their own feeder. I only see the hummers occasionally. Yours are very cute!

great pics.. thanks for sharing and inspiring me. think i need a new feeder.. mine doesn't seem to attract hummers like yours does. glad you are getting enuf customers to make such great photos.

Nice!!! So glad your enjoying the hummers & hope your feeling better?

Great pictures BT! And a good story to go with them!

Brownthumb, maybe you should name the feller Kramer after the guy on the tv show Friends. He was not bashful in the least.

Great shots. Thanks so much.

Thumbie, glad you are feeling well enough to get out a bit. What a great way to cheer yourself up. Great hummer shots. Hummers are difficult to photograph even on good days.

These were so easy to take. I love my new camera! Set up my tri-pod zoomed in on the feeder. Then as soon as I heard their humming I just held that button down. That female is just to smart tho...if I move the camera to look at the other side, she'll always get behind the feeder. She is really camera shy.
