This hummer flew close several times to check me out but I couldn't keep it in the frame with the 400mm. So quick...no time to even react, but I did catch her by the feeder.

I think it was attracted to my T-shirt, sort of a mauve color. I'll have to wear it more often.

ISO 800, 1/250s, f5.6, TTL -2 on camera flash w/extender, Sony A7R3, 100-400 GM, heavily cropped and processed in Capture One.

That's funny Joe. I have had one flutter around the red handle on my lawn mower. I don't know if they have a sense of smell, but they sure do see Red.

Great capture, Joe, it takes a real man to wear a mauve t-shirt (LOL)!

That's a really nice shot, Joe. They can be funny. I almost got my ear pierced by one a few years ago. Two were chasing each other! We also have them hover and look in the windows sometimes. Maybe they see their own reflection.

Maybe it was sensing your sweet personality?

I made the mistake of wearing a flowered shirt to the arboretum, once. Won't do that again! Hummers attacked me!

Nice pic.
