This cool weather with rain every so often has made my feeders very popular. The little hummers are fueling often to keep up energy and stay warm I suppose. They have been fighting over who gets which feeders, I now have different groups fighting over all three feeders in the back yard and the level of the one on the front of the house goes down so others are using that one. My daughter went out to get the mail and didn't notice the feeder and a bird buzzed very close to her head on its landing approach. She said she thought she was being attacked by the world's largest bee until she looked around and saw it drinking on the feeder.
I had just filled all the bird feeders and sat in a lawn chair on the pool deck near by to get these shots.
#1 7DII, 100-400L+1.4x III @ 560, 1/250 @ F/11, ISO 400 hand held with fill flash
#2 all same but 328 mm and f/8.0
#3 all same but 560 mm, f/8.0
I have shots of three more types of birds that came after I refilled the feeders, but it is after 1 AM here and I am sleepy. I will post them tomorrow.
