I place feeders for the hummingbirds around my home. At the peak of the season (around late June) I usually have 10 feeders up, and will go through around 3 liters of syrup a day. I hang them from the eaves, using copper wire salvaged from the trailer house we lived in before building our house. On some of them I left a bit of wire as a perch, and this Rufous has taken to use it as a place to defend "his" feeder from the other birds.

The little guy sits there for hours on end, looking this way and that.

And when another bird approaches, he leans in the direction it is coming from before flying off to chase the interloper away.

Here's a couple of shots of local Tawny Frogmouths.
They are the masters of disguise, and often overlooked.
The second shot is the family portrait, and in case you missed him, Dad is on the far right.
Both shots with K-3 II and 150-450, handheld. See exif for shot details.
Cheers,
Terry

I recently had the good fortune to be able watch some young Rufous hummingbirds grow from egg to flight over the course of about three short weeks sorry for the long post but with 20 pictures I tried to capture the process - there are two parts:)

Continued....the last four photos were taken the day before the chicks left the nest. It was a really amazing process to watch.

ND filters can also help keep you under your flash sync speed.
You can absolutely stack images to simulate one long exposure (with the limitations noted above:)). It starts to require many images, doubling for each stop of the ND filter you're trying to simulate. 1-stop ND filter can be replaced by 2^1=2 images, 2-stop ND filter needs 2^2=4 images, 3-stop ND filter needs 2^3=8 images, ... a 10-stop ND filter needs 2^10=1024 images. I think it's the k3 and later cameras that have a 2000 image limit for the multi-exposure mode and blends them on the spot into one, that would be way more practical than than having to process hundreds of images later. My camera's limit is 9, so I can get just over a 3-stop ND filter, I've used it a few times for a little more blur in borderline situations. There are 'Slow Shutter Apps" for smartphones that I assume work the same way (averaging multiple exposures).
If completely removing people from a crowded scenic location was the goal, you can probably get by with fewer exposures and a 'median' blend mode + manual masking if some of the tourists are particularly lazy. A cattle prod can also help clear the area, be sure to get the image completed before you're arrested.
