Humming Birds (DUW)

I love taking pics of Hummingbirds and I jump on every chance I have to photograph one. Here are some from our house and my grandparents.

Aric,those are some cool pics :cool: .We have a few hummingbirds around our house and the other day i actually saw one setting on a limb.They are some cool little birds the way the glide thru the air lol.

wow i've only seen one humming bird my whole life and that was in my friends back yard sucking the nectar out of the honey suckle very nice pics i must say

Great pics! I love hummingbirds. :sweeet:

Great pictures! Humming Birds are so neat to watch. Although you might be startled if you're walking close to where they're flying in. I've mistaken the wing sound for a wasp wing sound before :P

Wow, great pics, I see humming birds all the time around my house and i don't think I have ever seen one actually land on anything...... everytime I've seen them they are zipping around......

That fourth one down is my favorite shot! Very nice!

AmAzInG! That must be one H..L of a camera!!! :P

Great pictures, I have some nice ones that I'll try to add, maybe we could really get this thread going. BTW worldcup, is that black mold in the feeder or is that something on the outside of the feeder. Everyone be careful and don't let that solution sit for too many days, it starts getting that murky look and then gets moldy and isn't good for the birds.

:eek: GREAT PICS! what camera do you use?

Its bugs, they seem to find there way into the feeder. I clean the feeder atleast 3 times a week when they use it alot but it seems like they have started to migrate now, we havnt seem one for a while.

If the insects are ants, you can put a thick coat of vaseline on the cord that the feeder is suspended on...they won't be able to walk over it.
