Today I found that they would feed even if I was outside, so I perched on my deck with my camera pointed at the feeder, and waited.

I think that next time I will need to get closer (or get a better zoom), have better lighting (earlier or later in the day), and remember to set my camera to the high-burst setting (which is a really cool feature). But given the speed at which these guys move, I am thrilled to have gotten any pictures. Plus it was nice to be outside in the sun for a while. It is a beautiful day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been enjoying the sight of hummingbirds zipping around our backyard for the last couple of weeks.
