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~
