These are beautiful, Vicki. The dark backgrounds and beautiful side light set these hummers off perfectly!

Well, they never really left. What I've noticed is we seem to have more or they're just very hungry and appearing in larger groups. This season, they also seem more willing to land on my fingers when I refill the feeder. That's quite a thrill that I'll try to share at some point.

Here are a couple of shots from this morning of one who was willing to pose.

These were taken with a Canon 7D and Tamron 150-600mm mounted on a tripod from about 15 feet. The dark background is the shady side of a group of oaks. All light is natural.

Perfect photos!



Thanks so much Katydid.

I suspect you have some Anna's in your area year round, too. Ours are really numerous right now as they fatten up for breeding season.

Nice ones, Vicki.


Thanks Earl. I've taken so many HB shots in the last few years, I have to ask why I need more. Maybe it's like climbing a mountain "because it's there."

Is that the G2 version of the Tameron?



Sorry, I don't know. I suspect the G2 is a more recent offering.

Vicki, excellent set of hummers. You do cause me to be . I am awaiting Spring in a big way.

Thank you Greg. I'm going to have to try and get a shot of these guys landing on my hands. They're really active at dusk - last feeding of the day perhaps.
