Love the hummer photos Bob! Those aren't easy to capture.

Tell me about it! They're especially hard to capture when they aren't coming over for dinner!! I actually have had a couple - immature or female Rufus (they're at that stage where it's hard to tell) and one gorgeous Broadtailed, but as opposed to other years they are the most skittish I've ever seen! And the numbers of them are way, way down! I usually get some doggone good photos of them, but not this year.

So I'll just live through your photos, Bob!

Thank you.

I find it much easier to get photos when there is just one around. The high paced activity of one driving off the others from the feeder makes it nearly impossible for me to get any in focus photos.

I had a single out there this morning but I had to go to the dentist so no pics from that episode.

The one or two I had this year seem to be gone already, and I didn't even get in a single serious photo session. Dunno what the issue was, but they were pretty scarce up here this year - folks in town have been commenting on that so it wasn't just me! Great shots.

I only ever saw one this year...missed seeing the little guys!

Some years are better than others. When there is a massive amount of Rocky Mountain Bee plant, lots of them show up here.

I have only ever seen the hummers here between Aug. 1 and 31, never in July or September. I kept getting a glimpse of one off and on and noticed the syrup going down in the feeder before I actually saw any that I could get a shot of. Once I spotted them, there were two that were fighting over the feeder. Lately I have only been seeing one. A couple of days ago I got a brief glimpse of one near the coop.

If I do not put a feeder out, I normally don't see any. I did not put the feeder out last year and I did not see any.

Nice photos Bob!

Can't "like" the coon ones though...we had a horrible time with them down at the golf course this summer. Darn things were fighting with our mousers and raiding the trash cans.
