Tried today to get images of the humers feeding. What a challenge! Techy things just don't work well for me, and I couldn't reset the shutter speed. And those little birds move so darned fast they are hard to keep in vision, let alone in the view finder.

Today the male was harrassing the female, and she would go deep into the quince to find a moments respit, and the male would zip back and forth under the quince with his tail in the air, and appearing to be completely red. What a show! When he would lose sight of her he would go straight up and out of sight, and then zip straight down. A couple times he zipped near my face and then over my head so close I could feel it. Little devil! I believe he enjoys teasing me.

Here he is feeding at the quince.
