Hummingbirds are migrating right now and our hummingbird feeders have been quite active. I never tire of watching them.

(155,942 posts)Were you using a tripod? I know I would be! But I tend to wobble.
Anyway, keep at it!

But . . . I may set up a tripod in the future and connect my shutter release.

(126 posts)saw a guy feeding a hummer with a bottle cap full of sugar water. The hummer would land on his hand and drink.
