Visitors at the picnic

The hummingbirds finally got up enough nerve to land on the feeder despite the fact that we were within 6 feet eating our supper.
well caught indeed…..i haven't got a decent hummer pic in two summers of trying…gak!

@ianrm Thank you Ian. They are so skittish. One really has to be still or very, very slow. No sudden moves.
@peterlgrave Peter, I appreciate the feedback. It does make for a better photo when you just get the bird. I've not had a lot of success at that. I guess I startle them by moving too quickly. I probably should set up a tripod at my feeder (this wasn't at my house). A remote shutter control would be helpful, too, I guess. Wonder how Vee gets her photos. I'm going to have to ask her.
@barbtatum @tosee @thomastoth @ziggy77 @altadc Thank you to all of you for taking the time to view and comment. These little birds are fascinating to me.
