Night and Day Hummingbird

I continue to struggle with getting decent hummingbird photos...and now the hornets and wasps have taken over, chasing the birds away. I have just ordered a different style of feeder...hope that helps with the leaking situation. The Hummingbirds still prefer the feeders to the flowers.

Any how, the bees are not as active when it's getting dark, leaving the birds in peace!

Sandy you did great and that second shot is my favorite. Try the Aspects HummZinger feeders and that will end the problem. You will only be feeding the beautiful hummingbirds.

Thanks Carol...That is the exact same one I ordered through Amazon early this morning! I actually ordered two! One 12 ounce and one 16 ounce!

You will love them they are the best feeders I have ever used. No problems with bees,wasps or any other pest.

The second one, in particular, is a great shot, Sandy.

Nicely taken Sandy.

Very pretty captures Sandy and aren't you the lucky one with a male still hanging around. The second shows great detail and color and is quite lovely.

I 2nd Carol's endorsement of the Aspect feeders. It's all I'll use any more.

Thanks Al, Ted and Steve. Every night this male sits, then drinks, sits then drinks. No competition at this feeder, so he just sits for a few seconds, then grabs a sip or two!
I am looking forward to the new feeders. Amazon reviews were very convincing too!

Two very nice shots. And I echo Steve's comment-Males!! I just ordered the same as you-never liked that general design 'cause couldn't tell how much nectar was still there. But the clear bottom solves that-duh, how simple can a solution be? The 1st half of the summer, bees have never been much of a problem but about now it starts in, so hope this will help.

Thanks Rog. The bees just took over here a couple of days ago. There's plenty of flowers that they could go to...

Both good shots, the second one especially.

Love 'em, Sandy. Hummers have been low in numbers here this year, at least in my yard.

Beauties both Sandy! Hope you have good luck with the new feeders

Great shots.

Well done Sandy! Any least you get some hummingbirds with your bees and wasps. I only get bees and wasps! Lol.
