Our neighbors have this feeder which hummingbirds seem to love. There are times of the day when 7-8 are there all feeding. Hard to get too close. Nikon D750 1/1000 at F 5.6 ISO 200

Very nice! Don't have them here, wouldn't have thought 1/1000 would stop them. The only time I have seen one with a camera in hand I was at 1/500 - that sure didn't stop the wings.

I've tried to shoot with less than 1/1000 but unless I crank the ISO up to get there--it's still blurry

To completely freeze the action, it's not uncommon using multiple flashes with high speed sync enabled.

Haydon--not sure how to do the high speed sync-I'll have to look into that-it was sunny out and I could have shot these at 1/1500. Thanks for the comment! I think they look pretty close to stopped
