One of these days I will capture a male hummingbird in all his iridescent red splendor without a distracting plastic feeder in the frame, but for now this will do. I found the shot, taken two months ago, while rooting around in the computer for something else. It was taken through the picture window of our cabin.

Almost looks unreal! What a close-up though! I didn't put out my feeder this year. My sister did (2 miles away) and even at that, she's had hardly any hummers this year.
I finally put out a feeder 2 weeks ago - and boy! are the little hummers out in force! I took a few pictures last year, but can't take good pictures through a screen (as you know!), and mosquitoes are out in force so I can't sit or stand outside and wait to take a picture.
