Mrs Hummer is in the country eating.

Those are simply amazing photos. How in the world did you catch those?

 

Thanks Daisybeans,

Hang the feeder close to a window. Hide behind some flowers.
They come often. Girls are more tame like.
Ole ruby neck is a fussy bird an bossy an fighter.

great shots! I've been seeing a few Hummers around here too.

 

Thanks cherylad ,

why not shoot them? With a camera.;o)

I've tried, believe me! :-D
Either they are too fast for me or my camera is too slow for them!
I've gotten photos before... but nothing as close and sharp as your's.

 

Keep trying, maybe you can beat mine.

Find a hiding place an set.

Incredible pictures!
The first one especially would make a very pretty desktop wallpaper!!

Great shots! One year I was priviled to watch a make doing a courting dance. The female was at the feeder setting and the male was hovering a little ways away. First he would fly up, then fly down. Then he would go from side to side. He did this for about 10 repiticians. It must have worked because they flew off together! Their use of my feeder has slacked off some now. All of my Honey Locust trees are in bloom. The trees really hum between the hummers and the bees. But the blooming is just about done so the birds are coming to the feeder a bit more.

 

Thanks C kirk,

they are fun to watch.
