Hummingbirds

The hummingbirds have found my re-filled feeder. I took some shots out the window and others hurriedly at the front stoop. Today I will try to set up a blind and hunker for hours down like the wild nature photographers in the jungle do. OK, not really, but I'll sit at the stoop quietly with the camera on the correct setting, and try to get some better shots. Meantime, here are the ones I already managed to snap last night at dusk:

Here he comes!

Slurp, slurp! I like his little feet

Drink up little buddy!
They were fussing and fighting big time. Two hummingbirds were fending each other off. One would retire to the tree and wait for the other to appear and then chase him off. Then the other one would do the same. It was quite a ruckus.
