Just keep those feeders ready and when you least expect it you will have a hummingibrd. I am so blessed I can look out my computer room window most anytime of the day right now and see my males having a good time.

I haven't seen any here in central indiana, the columbines are blooming, azelias are starting to. I have 2 feeders up, I put a mark on them to determine if we had any and as far as I can tell we have not. I hope we get some soon, I have been looking foward to seeing the little guys, and I miss them.

They don't stick around long when they come to feed. You may have them and not know it. Also... here they seem to come to the feeder most often about an hour before sunset, and just about sunrise. They will come and stay at the feeder anywhere between 10 seconds and a minute and then split. Might come back a few times with about a 10 to 15 minute interval. Keep the sugar water fresh or they will not return.

Thanks, Bonnie!, I have an olympus C-770 UltraZoom, I love it. I'll probably have it at the swap so you can play if you like. It's not superduper like the SLRs/professional ones but for my needs, it's great. I took the pic from my swing, about 12? feet away. This the first year we've had feeders, and we're having a great time with them. I'm not reliable about watering container pots and I didn't think I'd be good about refilling the feeders, but now that we have the hummers to watch, I'm sure they'll get filled like the rest of the feeders do. What fun for you that you got to see one up close and personal! Have you checked out the hummingbird cam online? See you Saturday! Here is a link that might be useful: Hummer nest cam
