    Kinda sorta fuzzy... the camera wanted to focus on the screen and sadly, the window/screen is old and crotchety and doesnt like to be opened.

    These new photos were taken outside, after I refilled the feeder. I positioned a chair a few yards away and waited... success!

    I think you did well. It's hard to get a photo of them at all. And don't let Philip come over and cut holes in all your screens! :D

    I can still make out that they are hummingbirds even with the screens. I would love to have such lovely little birds in my garden.

    Those turned out OK despite the screen. Those little buggers are quick, and sometimes that's the only way you can GET a photo. I've been trying for 9 years LOL

    Don't you just love them. Our new windows don't have screen I can raise up. Never thought just to ask for 1/2 screen. Guess they cost more but wish I had know.Enjoy them while they are here.
