These are amazing shots. I especially like the 3rd. I like the apple idea and will use it. It looks so much nicer in the picture than the red plastic feeder. Thanks for sharing these.

Excellent photos of some tiny birds. Even with a long lens you must be close to got those. Our humming birds often shock us when we work in the garden, as at first, we think a large bee is buzzing us.

Love the great shots showing their acrobatics. I've tried to catch a few of those antics but rarely are they in focus!

I love photographing birds, especially cranes and hummingbirds. I could spend entire days just taking pictures of one or the other, OK I do spend entire days just following the sun, shade and backgrounds. These were taken last weekend in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. I forgot to take my feeder in my camper, so I hollowed out an apple, and put the juice in the cavity. Actually, looks a lot better than those ugly red feeders...or at least I think so. I took over 3,000 pictures, and narrowed down to about 75 that I kept, and these are random of those 75... After a few days, the patterns become predictable and one can anticipate where certain ones will hover, and they will keep going back to the same spot after sipping on the nectar. They are beautiful little buggers. Today, sitting in my office, I swear I heard them buzzing around!
