Couple of Patio Hummingbirds

[inchr48]

We love the "zoomers", buzzing our cocktails and cookouts, on the Western facing patio.

Most mornings, leaving for work, I get the gracious "fly-by" also.

Fun to watch the males, flash their throat patch, a gang-sign I'm sure, in Hummereese.................

Wifey had fun the other night with the camera....

Much cheaper since digital .............

Hummingbird photography can be an art from for some photographers. I've taken a few Hummingbird shots worth sharing. I think the ratio of bad shots to good shots, for me, is about 100-1.

i spent the weekend offroading near a friends house and I saw 10+ humming birds on two feeders I was amazed on the quantity in a single place

These guys will let you know when the feeder is empty too. Our feeder hangs on our front porch and several times I've been strafed when it is empty. Beautiful birds to watch.
