What a great shot! Beautiful feeder too! Never seen one like it. Just saw a hummer at ours just now.

That bird looks very focused on its work when you look at the eye. Nice job Paul!

[TAKEDOWN]

Great shot Hack, nature at its best!

Thanks Mary,John.I was having my morning coffee at the kitchen table when he showed up.

Impressive Hack!

I have tried for years to catch the few in my backyard and never have the Nikon ready when they are about.

they almost look like bugs, very cool!

They sound like giant bees too since their wings are flapping quite fast. They are speedy little buggers. I have one that visits the flower baskets on the porch. Never have a camera handy.

Good job Hack!

What did you shoot those with?

Thanks for sharing.

Nice pics!

Does that feeder leak when wind is moving it?

I've had to return two already this summer for leaking out the bird access holes. One was similar to photos you posted, other was a bottle with glass tube out the bottom.

Nice Pics Paul. Hummingbirds are very cool.. The little buggers are very territorial and can be very entertaining .

Heh, they squabble and tussle just like people.....

Those are terrific pics.I love watching them.Everyone around has their feeders out but we have only seen one this year.Guess they are visiting elsewhere.

I have feeders up too. Patience indeed, getting those pics! Only time I saw one last year I thought a large bee came and checked me out, then punched it to warp 3.

Crazy fast!
