Been feeding and helping the best i can to raise hummingbirds for the better part of 10 years. I've noticed over the generations they become less and less fearless of me, i've come ever so close to having one perch on my finger on multiple occasions.

Here are a few of my favorite shots i've gotten from my little lovelies...

Hope you enjoy |:D|
 
Every time I see them I am delighted like a child. I see them all day long from my little perch and I still draw in breath. No wonder they call a group a "charm." I get to see lots of behavior I can't photograph. They are feisty, little Fighter Aces. I used to live near you, growing up. Welcome to the forum. These folks are smart, citizen scientists. I've never found a forum on any subject, with such vast participation.
 
Thank you


Thank you, and believe me, if i had the first clue how to use photoshop i would in a heartbeat.

F stop- Here's a quick hack to show you what I was thinking. I hope you don't mind,

Jim

p.s. I hope this comes over

Splendid work above. Lit a fire to get the garden tiller out and start prep'ing for next years attempt to wean them from the bottle. Already have trumpet creeper and a few other things, in. Thanks all

Thank you |=)| I've been wanting to do the same thing to put them in a more "natural" environment.
