Shoo

All comments are appreciated. He was trying to intimidate another bird.

delightful I have had two feeders up trying so hard to get a image of one of these hummers... I live in the country and we do not have many but hopefully before summer's end I will get one.

They are hard to catch. I stuck this dead branch in a flower pot close to the feeder and they often perch there. I'm shooting through a window about 8 feet from the birds with a 400mm VR lens on a D700 at high ISO so as to freeze the motion when possible. Usually, the lens is pre-focused to the branch and then I have to get really lucky. The birds are more active in the morning and evening and after most of the flowers are done blooming so they're fussing over who controls the territory around the feeders.
