I still have 3 hummingbirds that are hitting the feeder. They are probably getting energized for their migration for winter. I think last year I saw them up to the beginning of Oct. I will keep the feeder up for a little while after for the ones that are migrating.

This capture was taken yesterday with my old Nikon D3000 with the 18-200 Nikon DX VR lens that I had given Harry several years ago, it helped give him some interest in photography.

There were some pictures on it that he took, and I might share some of them with you.

This camera is not as quick on the click for continuous shooting, but I decided to mess around with it some. This camera is nothing like my canon, but thought I would put it to some use, and learn how to use it, as I never really did much with it.

Thank you for your comments, looks like we might have a nice mild temp. day here.

Nice colours and a good DOF here Sandi. The old camera works well.

I so envy all of you over there being able to see birds like this in your gardens. Lovely shot indeed.

Great catch Sandi and that 3000 still works well I'd say.

Looks like it works well, Tigz.
I prefer the Nikon but that's just me.
Well captured.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

There is nothing wrong with the camera so please do not complain :)
Your feeder is a very complex construction though ...
Where exactly do the hummers go for winter, to Florida I guess or Cuba perhaps ...?
Thanks and hugs,

Very interesting capture as above it unusual to see a hummingbird taking the easy life and not bad a shot seeing you we're not used to it as well.

I love the title Sandi and I think you are right they will be leaving soon for warmer weather.
I see nothing wrong with this lovely shot.
Well done.

You have a nice picture Sandi. The 18-200 Nikon lens is a pretty nice lens to work with. It gives good detail and would probably be a nice portrait lens as well as landscape. I enjoy my 55-200 Nikor lens on my Nikon D3200.

Nice shot, Sandi. Do they fight each other off and think they own the feeder? They're crazy little birds. Even when they're still they're not still.

Good lighting and colours in the photo Sandi. A nice capture of the hungry, hungry hummer.
