This handsome youngster is still a bit camera shy after about a week. Eventually he will accept me as part of the environment. Currently shooting from about four feet with the 100mm f/2.8 macro.

Good stuff. We usually have our highest numbers of hummers during mid to late August, but this year all the forest fire smoke has driven them south already. Enjoy them.

You're so lucky! I sed to see some hummers back around Chicago but where I am now, nothing visits my garden except for a bullying cat, much to my kitty's dismay :)

Thanks Mel - I always seem to miss them on the way up in the spring but usually have one or two stay for a while from late August.

I am pretty sure we are in the same part of town as each other, Renata. I bet if you hang a hummingbird feeder for a week or so that you will get a visitor.

Lupo, I am in Richardson and a hummingbird feed is in the backyard but no sign of those sweet little hummers, though. I think we have too many trees that obstruct the view. In my previous house, the backyard was pretty open and they were all over the place :)

hmm ... well, don't give up. We went for years and years before I was able to attract them.
