Backyard Hummers

I don't always have to drive a hundred miles to get some cool birds. From my yard using Sony A9 and 200-600mm.

And this girl set up her household right over my (sparsely used lately) front steps.

Good shots. Do you have feeders that they come to?

Yes, I have a couple of feeders up all year as the Anna's are year round redisdents here.

I keep my feeders up year round, but the only time of heavy activity is in the winter. I bring the feeders inside at night if aI feel the temp will drop low enough to freeze the solution. The hummers nearly mug me at the back door the following morning when I go to hang the feeders back up.

There is very little evidence of activity at the feeders once the flowers bloom even though I see and hear them in the area.
