SingingWolf, I love all your photos and am sure that if you start talking and standing by your feeders, the birds will become used to you more and more. We have our table and chairs about 3 ft. away from a feeder out on the deck and while we eat, the hummers just ignore us and go on about their feeding. It seems to me the Anna's are the most social of all the hummers.

Also, now that your "Sweetie Pie" (great photo) is able to stand close, when you clean and refill your feeder, hang it up but put your finger close to a feeding hole and just stand there quietly. You may be surprised how quickly they'll come up and sit on it. This is my hubbie in this picture.
