I evaluate hummingbird photos by how clearly I can get the feet in focus. If the face is in focus, but the feet are blurry, then the photo doesn’t make the cut.
Besides I can’t believe their birdie feet. They are miniaturized, engineering marvels.
These tiny birds who weigh less than a nickel, have impressively functional feet.
Check out this guy with his landing gear engaged and ready to lock on!
Right now the hummers appear to be miffed.
I moved their feeder so it would be more in the sun for photos, and they are balking about using it.
It’s a hummingbird standoff.
If they refuse to use the feeder for another hour, I’ll move it back.
Cheers to you from The Holler Hummers, who, of course, are always in charge!
I am just their feeder filler~

Great pictures, I see Hummingbirds all the time but never that up close. Having the feeder in the sun most likely gets too hot for their little feet to touch. See if they only land on the side not directly in the sun. A.G.
Yes, they ddidn’t seem to enjoy the feeder being in the direct sunlight, so I moved it back!
Hummingbirds rule. 🙂
They certainly rule me! 😉
A beautiful photograph of a beautiful bird!
Why thanks much!
Amazing shots! I wish I could see them like this on front of me 🙂
They are such beautiful and plucky tiny guys. They have me wrapped around their footsies! 😉
And mine too 🙂
Oh I love hummingbirds! Who doesn’t? Great shots!
Yep, they are impossible to not love!
Beautiful Cindy! So much detail!
All packed in such a tiny birdie! It is amazing~
Ms. Feeder Filler, you gave me a laugh because I know what you say is true, the Hummers rule your land. Really excellent photos, and I, too, love those little feet. 😀
They are clearly in charge and humans (read me) bow to their formidable wills! 😉
So very pretty 🙂
Aren’t they beautiful creatures!
Simply amazing Cindy!
And I love their teeny tiny feet too <3
Best,
Takami 🙂
It’s like little nano-birdies! 😉
Fantastic captures of an amazing little bird!
Good evening Cindy – These pictures are by far the most amazing I have ever seen of any bird. Absolutely beautiful. The colors are truly magnificent. Hmmm – I think I feel a poem coming on… The Hues of the Hummingbird… Thanks for the inspirations. Hope your evening is as beautiful as your photographs…
Michael
The Hues of the Hummingbird sounds beautiful! I want to read your poem! And very happy you like the birdies too~
Great capture!
Thanks much my friend & cheers~
They are so cute Cindy, and shiny too.
They are shiny like this when they are in the sun. Their feathers are iridescent and shine. So pleased you noticed~
WE don’t have these winged jewels in Australia, so I really appreciated your offerings today. Those feet …
The feet just kill me! I have to get back to Australia to photograph your magnificent birds. I was just blown away by them~
Great photos, Cindy. They are so tiny to begin with. Then there are those tiny feet!
Leslie
I know. It is amazing to see the tiny details isn’t it……….
Amazing photos. I consider it a win if I get one sorta of centered — they move so fast — by the time I oh and ah over their zippity cuteness they’re gone again.
Zippity is a excellent descriptor. They are sooooo fast! I love the super loud hums they make as they buzz by……
I bet hummingbird parents never say to there children “sit still and eat your dinner.” 😀
sweet and great shots.
Awwww, merci beaucoup~
Truly Magnificent! 🙂
So very thoughtful & much appreciated Carol~
That is an interesting tip to also keep the bird’s feet in focus as well as the eyes or the head. I will have to keep that in mind if I have a chance to capture pictures of bird.
It works for me, in narrowing down photos. The wings can be blurry, but the eyes and feet should be clear….
I never tire of seeing your hummers at the Holler Cindy. The photo of him coming into land is magic.
I was so tickled with that one because we got to see the mechanics of how they land. They are endlessly interesting to me, so happy you enjoyed them Pauline & cheers to you and Jack.
I love your Hummingbirds!
I do too!! <3
Magnificent shots. And I’ve never even noticed the feet before!
The feet are pretty remarkable aren’t they! They are amazing fliers of course, but also remarkable landers, and their feet explain why~
Wonderful. Love the fabulous photographs. Hummers are so amazing.
The only bird that can fly backwards!
Wow, the hummers are still around where you are! They annually leave around mid-late winter in my area so I haven’t been seeing them as of late. However, thanks to you Cindy, I can view them here! 😀
There is a small cohort that stay here year round, the hordes will arrive in the spring and I will be using 32 ounces of nectar daily in mid summer! These little babies need their fuel!
Great shots. I understand their rule all too well. The feeders have to be cleaned and replaced at night or all you-know-what breaks loose!
Yes they are strict little masters. I don’t dare cross them! 😉
I can’t believe you captured these tiny fast birds so beautifully!
So glad you enjoyed them!
Wonderful photos Cindy, love all the details.
So tiny and so intricate, like a living, thinking, flying Swiss Watch!
Yes that is very good comparison
What incredible photos. You are amazing. 🙂
Awwww, you are nice! <3
💐💐💐💐💐
Once again – – – great photos. Are you sure no one is buying coffee table books?
Unfortunately they are not! 😉
I love hummingbirds. These are fantastic photos!
Ahhhhh, so glad you love them too!
Wow, Cindy. I love the beauty of humming birds. Are yours aggressive? I’ve heard they can be.
Not with people. They will come within inches of my eyes and I trust them completely. But with each other, oh my yes! They spend so much time bickering and fighting it is unreal and it utilizes way too many calories to be efficient!
Aw, these guys are too cute! Your photos are superb. Your shutter speed must be very quick!
They are so pretty it is ridiculous and yes the Sony does a good job~
Cindy, such beautiful shots of the hummers. I just love them. Had a very strange experience right before Christmas, when it was quite cold. One big fat hummer would sit in a rosebush nearby and did not allow any other hummers to eat from that feeder. Than I got upset and hung another one, because it was so cold out, but this hummer started chasing all the others away from both feeders. It was all for him. No sharing, just like humans at times.
The others hummers for sure were hungry. Enjoyed watching the whole scenario. Hugs! Veraiconica
Yes! They seem to fight more over the feeders when there is less competition. In the summer when we have hordes of them, they still fight, but less intensely. Now when there are around 5 birds and 64 ounces of nectar hanging there, they squabble like mad. It makes no sense. All I can figure is that when the competition is serious, ie., many birds, limited nectar, it is a matter of survival to drink more and fight less. In the winter when there is tons of nectar they have more luxury time to fight! Funny little guys….
Love these photos, Cindy! The little feet are so incredibly tiny, and yet so effective!
Amazing isn’t it? We live in an amazing world~

Such ethereal music. Entrancing. Beautiful. I don’t think the water will get here. Northern Caly yes, but here no. Makes me beyond sad. Thank you for this wonderful water music my dear friend.
1EarthUnited introduced me to this composer/musician . Another Sky River could form, unseen, over the warmer ocean, and flow right to your house. You might not even know it until the water cascades down.
I hope this potential rain, from the river that already has formed, is enough to save a few trees in the orchards and the stressed forests.
Knock on wood 🙂
Here’s hoping right along with you….
OMG Cindy with birds generally, and hummers especially, I’m thrilled to get *anything* in focus! Wonderful photos! My favourite is the one coming into land.
A.
Oh see, you and Pauline notice. I took that today, although lacking in some things that might be required for a good photo, I loved the new insight into the bird’s mechanics. Thank you for noticing & enjoying~
Is that bird even moving? If it is then that’s incredible! I don’t know what goes into taking pics but that is awesome. Well done!
Awwwww, so kind and happy you enjoyed!
Astonishing beauty in every picture.Thank you for visiting my blog.Jalal
So glad you enjoyed & cheers to you Jalal~
Dear Feeder Filler, thank you for sharing all your wonderful teeny tiny feet foto’s 😀 I think you’re right on, that one wee guy is totally po’d, ha xoB
Yep. Had to move the feeder back. The bosses required it! 😉
Wow. That is a hard thing to do. I have a couple that I have taken and I was lucky to get it before he moved again. Nic pic.
They are speedy little tweeters aren’t they!
I envy you the sight of these precious gems, Cuz. Won’t see them here til summer 🙁
Is moving to Florida still on the table?
On the table, the walls, the roof, and anywhere else I can put it !!!!!!!!! Hugs !
Super super, Cindy! Thanks much! 🙂
Thank you more for the kind appreciation~
Really interesting point you make about how their feet indicate the quality of the photo 🙂 Amazing photos I must say, very beautiful 🙂 Always a treat to see your photography 🙂
Always a treat to read your poetry!
Thank you! 🙂
My daughter is like a bird with teeny tiny little feet. Great pictures Cindy. As always.
Thank you my friend and hugz~ <3
I just can imagine the amount of patience to get this wonderful series, I love specially the one in the blue sky. Thanks 🙂
So very happy that you do & thank you!
Delightful photos Cindy.
Mil grazi!
Such beautiful birds. Your pictures are fantastic Cindy.
xxx Hugs Hugs xxx
You are most kind David!
Wonderful images of my favourite bird….will re blog.
Reblogged this on My Life as an Artist (2) and commented:
Magical Hummingbirds.
You are so kind and so very appreciated! Thank you for your thoughtfulness & cheers to you~
Klasse Fotos,
LG. Wolfgang
Vielen danke Wolfgang!
Wonderful Cindy! Never seen any hummingbirds live so I really love your pictures. And I’m amazed that you manage to capture them so well. Happy weekend!
So happy you enjoyed and thank you for the thoughtful comment!
They are gorgeous!! I have never seen a hummingbird in my life and it makes me really jealous 🙂
I am so pleased you like them! They would like you too!
Haha! Birds usually fly away when they see me 🙂
You just need to be properly introduced…. 😉
She always inspires and educates.Beautiful as always.
Beauty birds and fantastic photos. What a great photografer you are.
Oh, this is so kind of you & so appreciated! Cheers to you~
Cheers!
Oh lucky you. I love hummingbirds, but we don’t have them in Norway, at least I can enjoy them in your beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing.
Norway is so gorgeous and I am so happy you enjoyed the hummers! Thanks much for the appreciation
Love that one can see the feather structures while in flight.
Fascinating isn’t it? They are marvels of design & engineering~
Wow
🙂
Wow. Those were amazing photos. I just love those little ones! They should be arriving here in April….. on my list: get feeders! 😀
cate
Gotta feed these babies,they burn so many calories fighting and flying!
Amazing photos. We certainly don’t get them in my part of Australia.
Australia is blessed with such incredible birds, I am glad to show you at least one that you don’t have!
There is amazing bird life over at my parents’ place at Palm beach, where we’ve been on numerous holidays. They are on the still, Pittwater side and there are mangroves which are breeding grounds for migratory birds. WE get grey heron, pelicans. There is a pair of Rainbow Lorrikeets who live there and masses of Sulfur-Crested cockatoos. The cockatoos are a bit of a mixed blessing. I love them but if you don’t feed them, they can start attacking your house and they have done some damage to our place. After sundown there is what I call: “the sunset screech” where the cockatoo all fly back across Careel Bay screeching the entire way. There’s 30-50 birds. it is an amazing spectacle!!
I was so blown away by Australia’s birds, the flocks of galah’s, the cockatoos, the roselles, the loriketts, all the parrots. I went up to a bush and there must have been 50 Black Cockatoos demolishing it, eating the nuts and crying like cats. These are considered rare and extremely prized birds in the US. They sell for around 50K each if you can find one. Sulphur Crested Cockatoos are prized and pricey pets here. I need to go back to Australia and spend more time with the birds.
Nice to see pictures that are rarely seen.
A friend of mind was a bee keeper. His bees loved him, they even tried to go home with in the car. One day he thought that it would be easier if he called them all George and told them so. He said they were most stand-offish until he relented. 🙂
Hilarious Graham! It certainly isn’t size that can make one the boss! 😉
Now there’s a thought. 🙂
Beautiful birds, and such amazing photos, Cindy. You are such a gifted artist with an keen eye for seeing beauty and a loving, joyful heart that shines though all of your work.
Awwww, it is meeting people like you Carol that makes me love blogging. So thoughtful and so kind….
What amazing, gorgeous shots! These guys are so FAST they’re nearly impossible to snap. 🙂 Such unbelievable colors…
So pleased that you enjoyed them & cheers to you~
Love the hummer photos!
Very glad to hear it & cheers to you~
Love your hummingbirds – amazing to me the clarity you get. These photographs are stunning of the little guys!
Awww, so kind Mary & so appreciated!
Your photos are always so stunning Cindy! I love hummingbirds! Ours don’t arrive until the end of April. Can’t wait!
Very happy you enjoyed and glad you get to experience these little guys up close & personal!
The clarity is stunning, Cindy! I don’t think I can see this clear with my eyes. Look at the feather… Wow!!! Thank you so much for showing us this beauty!
They are fascinating up close aren’t they! Such incredible details~
Beautiful photos, Hummingbirds are gorgeous little birds! I wish we had some in my neighbourhood…
They definitely add joy and entertainment to my life~
You do take the best hummingbird pics ever, Cindy. 🙂 Such beautiful captures of these beautiful birds.
They are part of the family out here. We eat outside with hummers whisking over the plates!
Go for two or three hours, Cindy. They’ll adjust. Guaranteed. 🙂
Laughing……I am such a wimp! 😉
You’ve got some great pictures there! I love hummers too, and mine can be very silly about any changes to their feeder.
They know whose in charge don’t they! 😉
I never thought of that. Aren’t they extraordinary? I never tire of looking at them (or trying to photograph them as well as you do.) Delightful little hummers.
Yes they are a constant source of conversation and focus here at The Holler, they and the free range cows and bulls! Laughing…..
Love this shot!
And all the others after the cover. 🙂
They are unfairly photogenic subjects, but I am really glad you liked them!
These are (as always) gorgeous! Fascinating little creatures! 😀
Your kitty kats might like them too, for the wrong reasons!!
Well, I sure hope those little jet propelled hummers can move fast enough to stay safe!
They definitely can, there is no cat they cannot evade!
Such lovely little creatures and your photos are wonderful…they’re smart too if they can push you around!
They are very smart and good pusher arounders!
Amazing shots, love them! Nicely done.
I was just listening to your lastest riff Rick, enjoying it, and now, and see you here! Synchronicity~
I haven’t been on much lately…watched my sick grandchildren and picked up their stomach virus. Used to be impervious….Apparently, I’m no longer bullet-proof.
What amazing teeny birdie feet. Such focus! Nice, Cindy. And thanks for your likes and comments on my blog. You are always such a good responder!
Blogging is this wonderful community. I love the bloggers I follow, like you!
You can never have too many humming birds!
That sums up my philosophy neatly! 😉
Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
They are magical and very difficult to photograph but here are some wonderful shots of one of my favourite birds.. The Humming Bird, courtesy of Cindy Knoke… wow
You are most kind and very thoughtful and very, very appreciated my friend! Cheers & thank you~
These guys are stunning. Either you were super patient for the shots or were among hummingbirds who needed a sit. 😀
When I was small and saw my first hummingbird, I thought it would burn up with those wings whizzing so fast. Wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing. <3
Thank you much more for such a thoughtful and kind comment~
I tell it as I see it, Cindy. You are more than welcome.
<3
Beautiful captures, Cindy. We don’t see the hummers until summer so your images of them brightened this wintry day for me. 🙂
Yay! Brightening a wintry day is what I am aiming for! Cheers to you my friend~
Wonderful, wonderful photos of birds that are so hard to catch well. They are amazing critters and you’ve done a great job capturing their personality. We’ve planted bushes around our pool that attract butterflies and hummingbirds – need to put up a feeder, but where? Sun or shade?
Thank you for such kind words & thoughts. I guess I would go for shade if your not planning on taking a lot of photos. The shade stops the nectar from spoiling and the hummingbirds seem to like it better. If you want to take photos, I would opt for a location that gets morning sun and afternoon shade. This is what I do giving me a morning window for photos.
I think I’ll try to find some shade. Thanks!
<3
impressive skill, patience & art
to capture those fast, little birdies 🙂
Thank you for noticing & cheers to you~
How we love the hummers. It’s still too cold for them here but I’ve already been planning special gardens just for them and the butterflies. Of course I’ll still put out the feeders. Last year both hummers and butterflies loved the natural feeding with the flowers better than the feeders. However, the hummers were really funny. I had a feeder hung not far from a blown glass rondale Tom had made several years ago and it’s hung in every garden from Monterey, Rome,Sicily, and even DC. Last year is the first year I’ve actually seen the hummers hoover in front of the rondale [no wind or breeze to make it move] and they seemed to check out their reflection before they quickly nose bombed the hummer spray mister I have in the garden below. The spray mister has been a hit since I first put it together in North Carolina.
I need to try a spray mister…….The hummers always fly into the hose spray when I water in the summer. What a great idea. I have all the plants planted to attract the hummer and flutterbyes too. We get hordes of them and I love them all!
It’s such fun to watch them fly through the mister and they get the best expressions on their faces as they primp about. I have my eye on another birdbath with mister – Tom swears I keep the place in business although he’s always calling me to see something going on outside his window.
Anyway, the second mister attaches itself to a larger birdbath but I want to more or less hide it in a tall bit of wildflowers for the hummers to find. I often see them coming up from below the flowers and thought a place ‘to freshen up’ would be really nice for them. Birds Unlimited is the name of the store I was trying to think of. They have some of the most awesome delights for our feathered friends. Tom swears the next thing he’ll see is little towels and ever so tiny bars of soap for the hummers to use when they finish their ‘showers.’
I am heading over there right now. These misters sound just the ticket for hot Holler Summers! We’ll get even more hummers! Is that even possible? We’ll have to see. Thanks for the tip Sheri & cheers to you my friend~
I never thought to look at their feet! How sweet they are, and yet as you said, functional. Great photographs.
Very happy you enjoyed them, and yes the close you look, the more interesting they are!
“lol” I guess the hummingbirds let you know how they want it….. or else! They are adorable. All I get here are Grackles, Sparrows, Pigeons and Sea Gulls. If I cross over to the lake I can sometimes see Ducks and Swans. I saw a Black Swan family a couple of years ago.
A black swan family would be a major thrill, swans in general are a thrill. I can only see them when I travel! <3
Einen schönen Sonntag wunderschöne Vögel sind alle toll getroffen.Wünsche dir Morgen eine glückliche gute Woche lieber Gruß Gislinde
Sie sind wunderbar Gislinde ! Danke mein Freund. Wir sind mitten in der Planung unserer nachsten Reise nach Ihren schönen Deutschland!
Cindy, these are the best photos I have ever seen of Hummingbirds. Absolutely fantastic!!! I know the patience required to get shots like these and oh wow, I really am impressed. GREAT job! Love, Amy
So thoughtful and so appreciated! You made my morning. Many thanks & happy Sunday~
We have a humming bird feeder outside our kitchen window and it’s a real treat when they come for a snack. I’ve never seen these wonderful little birds in such detail, though, as they move so fast. These are lovely photos.
Awwww, so happy you enjoyed and that you have your own hummers visiting! They make life more beautiful! Cheers to you & thank you~
Excellent photos! Thanks!
Thank you more for the appreciation!
YES! This is why I fell in love with you and your pictures “HW”
I know you do love the hummingbirds! Happy Sunday to you my friend. Always look forward to visiting with you~ <3
Amazing photographs. You must have a lot of patience.!
Only for certain things! Laughing…..thanks much and have a great week~
Congratulations! I’ve nominated you for TWO blog awards! https://scatterbooker.wordpress.com/2015/02/09/not-one-but-two-blog-awards/

Beautiful photos, tiny feet and all. Thanks for sharing your passion and talent Cindy! 🙂
Thank you more for the appreciation & cheers to you!
my pure joy!
<3
No such words to say how great these pictures are done. Stunning!
Awwwww, makes me very happy!
Stunning macro photos of this beautiful birdie dear Cindy!They look really fascinating on the wing,their engineering secrets behind their tiny but powerful feet are totally astonishing!Loved their rich motley plumage too 🙂
Aren’t they gorgeous little dynamos! So happy you enjoyed all the details as I do!
Incredible Aero-dynamos dear Cindy!They had very well studied the flight abilities of the birds before building aeroplanes … They did copy them … Cheers 🙂
loving your bird shots, cindy
So glad you do cuz I am certainly “for the birds!”
Great photos! Good thing they are “teeny tiny” rather than “itty bitty”… 🙂
Yeah, itty bitty would be an eeensy bit bad! 😉
Cindy, just how are you able to take great shot after shot?! Heck, my eyes are so slow I can’t even follow them! And such a novel approach to whether its a good shot or not!
You take gorgeous photos so I don’t believe this for a second, but I very much appreciate your thoughtful generosity!
You better believe! ☺
What magic birds and what brilliant photos!
Awwww, see why I love to blog? It is because of people like you~
Cindy…these are incredible photos of an amazing bird…one I have NEVER seen in person so I really enjoyed this post!! <3
Ahhh, makes me so glad I posted! Cheers & thanks~
The smaller, the mightier. 🙂 And they do have cute feet. Amazing they are so light.
They actually weigh less than a nickel, but more than a dime! Laughing…….
Life is amazing, in all its forms. But the hummingbird and the bee, something about the two species…
Beautiful series Cindy ~ the fourth shot I think captures it all: motion, but also the focus and life in the eyes of these beautiful birds.
I took that one the day I posted and I was quite surprised by it, so thank you for your perceptive eye. It was a view I hadn’t seen before, so it was interesting~
They are so adorable! What tiny beautiful feet they have!
He is designed so perfectly for what he does which is zip around at warp speed!
I always enjoy your hummingbirds. 😀
And we’re starting to get more now. It’s been in the 80 degrees for the past week and more and more are coming earlier than normal.
80s – niiice. Meanwhile I’m eating a popsicle & freezing. I know – I’m nuts.
No one is ever nuts for eating a popsicle. Trust me on this, I’m a therapis! 😉
Unusual!
Yes, if you have never seen one, they are!
One word, AAAAAMAAAAZIIIING!!! 🙂 🙂
One word for you, KIND! <3 <3
<3 <3
Beautiful photos Cindy. You are a bird whisperer!
Well I certainly love them, so they may notice! Thank you~
Cindy, it has been far too long since I have visited and enjoyed your incredible photos, and hummingbirds are my FAVorite! I so admire your photo skills and am ashamed to say that unlike your exacting standards, I evaluate my hummingbird photos by whether or not the bird is actually IN the photo! 😉
PS: thank you so much for always coming by and liking my rare posts! XOXO
Laughing! You are hilarious. Thank you for the laugh. I love your posts and your humor. Happy Valentines Day!
🙂 Happy Valentine’s day to you too!
<3
Cindy, these tiny birds are the jewels of the avian world. They are fascinating.
Aren’t they the most wonderful creatures. They are my constant companions at The Holler and I love them~
Thank you for these awe-inspiring shots of amazing creatures, Cindy. As a dancer, I am especially thrilled to see their feet! Cheers….
How cool is that! They are the ultimate air dancers, ballerinas of the skies. I am fascinating by their feet and engineering! So glad you are too~ <3
I knew this kind of bird back home!
To know them is to love them! <3
This is very true 🙂
I love it when you get me thinking they have personalities and thoughts, Cindy. This was a fantastic post, beautiful photos, as always and am enjoying the dynamics of a hummingbird ‘stand off.’
You are such a wonderful blogging friend! Hugs & cheers~
What lovely birds – of course we don’t see them in England. I really like the one with wings moving. Interesting to see you concentrate on getting the feet sharp
The feet and the eyes. If both are in focus then everything else will be too!
Another snowy day here in WV. I shoveled off the deck to get to the bird feeder. The birds are delighted. Pleanty of views of their tallons grasping onto the perches.
Oscar
Time for some spring skiing perhaps!! Hope your spring melt arrives very soon and glad you are feeding the birdies~
Stunning photos. You do such a good job with the close-up wildlife pictures.
Awww, so happy you think so & cheers to you!
I love hummingbirds, I have many of these in my garden . Excellent photos of a beautiful bird!
So do I! I am looking at seven of them now competing at the feeder. So happy you enjoyed the pics & cheers to you!
You have such an eye for detail. I love the way you write, bringing alive the scene for the reader…look forward to reading more
Awwwww, so kind and so motivating! Thank you & cheers too~ <3
Utterly and completely fantastic!! Best shots of hummers I’ve ever seen. Really superb work, Cindy– beautifully done! : )
I am honored by your kindness Mark! Cheers to you & thank you!
great picture! i am always happy if i get the picture but the feet? wow! excellent!!
So pleased you enjoyed & thank you too!
