I captured this little girl on her way to mooch some sugar water from the feeder in my back yard. I was handholding my Canon 100-400mm lens at 400mm, with IS activated. Shot at f5.6, 1/2500, ISO 1000

A fantastic capture, Shirley! I'm trying to draw some hummers but I just can't seem to get them to my yard. #11601189Shirley D. Freeman May 29, 2017
Thank you, Terry. We really enjoy them. I just bought a little one hole feeder that you can hold in your hand, and the first day a male came and ate out of my hand! What an awesome experience. But, I haven't had one to do it since, but for the $10 or whatever that I paid for it, if once is all I get, it was worth it to me. I haven't been able to try to photograph that event yet, just want them to get used to me first. I hope you can get them to come to your yard too. <>< #11601200Nancy L. Green May 30, 2017
