Hummers

I’ve put up a second feeder, away from Little Bastard’s domain, and it’s getting a different crowd.

Cleared for landing!

Gotta adjust for it being in the shade, overexpose the background next time.

Yet another automatic camera setting to learn how to override.

If I walk by to get to the trash cans on the side of the garage, they’ll buzz me, sometimes getting way to close.

That’s because they have nests in these ivy plants along the fence and in the flowering plants next to the laundry room.

But if I just go out and sit about ten feet away, and be quiet, and patient, sometimes they’ll ignore me.

Sitting in the sun, the sunlight off of their iridescent feathers is just spectacular.

Then, “No More Paparazzi! I’m outta here!”
