A First

I took some way better quality shots today - in fact, rather a lot of them. But guess who came to dinner! We put a hummingbird feeder up on Saturday. Tonight was our first guest. I was really wondering how they might find out we had one. I am beyond excited and realizing just how much I need to learn to really capture one of these. But at least they know we are open for business and this little one can tell his friends.
What a feeling of accomplishment that must be! I saw a hummingbird hovering over a flower in the school garden and was thrilled. There was no way I could have gotten my camera up and focused before he darted off.

So glad it that one appeared for you! What a pretty feeder. Yes, maybe this one is a scout and will let all his friends and relatives know!

@vskolnik I was so thinking of you when I shot it - through the window and screen and with the macro lens that was on my camera. I hope to come somewhere even in the ballpark of your incredible stop motion shots of these beauties.

@allie912 They are so very gorgeous. I do think that just seeing them is a great gift.

Lovely capture! Enjoy your hummingbirds, they are so sweet!
Mine came back this spring but have mysteriously disappeared over the past three weeks. I'm not sure how to get them back.

Great capture! I was telling my husband last night that we need to fill the feeders because I think it's time for some hummingbirds. You've inspired me.
