Nice shots Gram I can't seem to get a good shot of my guy. I swear he is teasing me!! I love the way you presented them.

Nice photos Grampapa!

thanks, much. I'm really excited to finally get some I'm not ashamed to share. the window feeder is perfect. DH says he doesn't think they can see in, maybe just some movement so I'm careful not to move too fast. I'm sitting right inside the window just waiting for them. If I don't fill the other feeders right away they're stuck with this one (kind of a mean trick but what the heck, it's a free buffet). I think I could get better color from outside, though. the window is double-pane with UV protection. (wouldn't hurt to wash the window again...gets streaky every time it rains) these are just 2 of the individuals. we think we have at least 3 or 4 different ones. I'm trying to get pics so we can identify our little friends.

Gram,

Thanks for sharing! All the photos of the Hummers are so adorable!

When the Hummers zoom around me, they seem to 'chitter' alot. Don't know what they're saying, but it's so sweet to hear.

perfect pics Gram. Congrats !!!!!

thanks, all. Marilyn, the only time one of them 'chittered' at me was when he wanted me to go away so he could enjoy the feeder in peace LOL

one of the feeders is next to our pool. yesterday we watched them the whole time we were lounging in the pool. such fun! no cameras though...not waterproof!
