Saw this female Rufous hummer repeatedly coming into one of the feeders, not a big fan of feeder shots so I waited until she hovered for a bit checking things out before going in to feed.

Nikon D500, 300mm PF, f/5, 1/1250", ISO 2500, D25 AF Area Mode

Very Nice Shot!👍👍I do the same thing Dave. Finally getting the hang of that technique.

Literally took me weeks of going to the same spot to finally capture images resembling a good photo. I finally ended up taking a three step ladder to get on so I could have a better angle.

I was able to get a few shots this last week or so. They seem to be getting more active with the summer monsoon picking up. Nikon D500 with Nikon 500mm pf.

Here are a few of female Ruby-throated hummers feeding from Turtlehead flowers in our garden.

Very nice Tony, I love all the foliage in the frame to set the scene. Great shots!

Rainy here today but the light was great and the hummers were pretty active.

I noticed this young male Rufous Hummingbird liked to perch up on our string lights near the feeder before coming in for a drink. Took a while but managed a few bird on the wire shots like this.

Nikon D5, 600mm f/4 + TC-14 iii, f/5.6, 1/1600", ISO 3600

And as much as I try to avoid feeder shots I really liked the pose he gave me against the dark background.

These are really fantastic. I especially love the second shot. Of course, I'm a bit partial to a black background! :)
 
I experimented with lighting for this bird, a giant diffuser for sunlight on the left (an old white bedsheet suspended by a makeshift frame) and a reflector on the right (aluminized windshield shade from my truck). a1, 600 GM. Background is foliage in deep shade.
