Hummingbirds are migrating right now and our hummingbird feeders have been quite active. I never tire of watching them.

(156,003 posts)Were you using a tripod? I know I would be! But I tend to wobble.
Anyway, keep at it!

(15,305 posts)I was just sitting on a lounge chair, but I did have my camera focused on the feeder.
But . . . I may set up a tripod in the future and connect my shutter release.

(126 posts)saw a guy feeding a hummer with a bottle cap full of sugar water. The hummer would land on his hand and drink.
