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.
Well done. I use the same setup.
Is that the G2 version of the Tameron?

I REALLY Love to shoot Hummers too! Unfortunately, it is 11F here this morning and they don't like to fly with overcoats on, haha. Thanks for sharing, I will just enjoy your beautiful shots for now.
