Nice feeder! I am trying to catch the little buggers too, it can be a maddening process, since the shutter noise scares them this time of year. By fall, they should just about be landing on the bill of my cap! I have also found that my sigma 70-300 can't get enough light at long zooms or macro to get the fast shutterspeed to freeze the wings.

Nice shot. They don't arrive in this area usually til July. I am ready for them.

Great stuff. :) That must be so cool to have Hummingbirds visiting your house. What is it you put in the feeder? Some kind of sugary solution I guess?
