I was like a kid in a candy store.I was in the front yard and heard the bee buzz sound and there he was.There was eventually 2 of them and they were having a feeding frenzy well after the street lights came on.I was switching lenses left and right and had the window open and they were at times only an arms length away.I'll have to look at the exif data to see what lens I was using at the time.I'm so excited that I think I'll need a red solo cup or 2 to calm down.---charliezap

Good shootin' there Charlie, the penthouse is finally being used.

[LaurenOE]

Very cool!

Great shots. Well done. I don't know what happened to my hummers this year. I saw one a few days ago, but it was like he was stopping by for a drink and moving on. Haven't seen him since. They were here last year at this time.

If these guys remain active like they were today Bob there is going to be many "kodak moments"--charliezap

Your thread title made me think of the other sort of Hummer

Showtime! Your feeder looks like a big red solo cup for hummers.

[charliezap]

Very cool!

Right now there are two of them sparring for territorial rights.--charliezap

Hopefully I'll have a very active year with the feeder.I may move it to the sun side of the house so that I won't have to use the flash that much or maybe put up another feeder.--charliezap

I didn't know that there are different sorts of hummers.--charliezap

I put a red solo cup on top of the feeder.Let see what type of crowd that it attracts,--charliezap

Beautiful shots Charliezap... vibrant, great detail, great composition.. the lot! Great stuff good sir

[loco]

These are all wonderful, Charlie! I have yet to get a hummingbird shot approaching any of these. Great work! I'll have to dust off the 55-300 and try again soon. I have seen one so far this year....

Without going into detail my mind was thinking of a totally different meaning of the meaning of the thread topic.Thanks for the clarification.--charliezap
