It's surprising that the hummingbird stayed still long enough for your to get those photos.
Packrat (and Dr. K): Our bird feeder tender volunteers put our two hummingbird feeders in our native plant garden a few weeks ago. (I would have thought that the flowers would have provided enough incentive for the hummingbirds, but I guess not.) Anyway, we now have 4 Ruby-throated hummers buzzing around the garden routinely, and the feeders have become a real tourist and photographer's trap; at any one time, there may be three or four photographers with turbo-sized telephoto lenses trying to "catch" the hummer action. Too bad I can't charge admission.
Scott: I love to watch hummers. I remember one summer when we lived in El Paso we put up a hummingbird feeder. In late autumn a Rufous came around and kept all others at bay. I've never seen a more aggressive hummer in my life. We had to take the feeder down, though, because the darned House Finches kept tilting it in order to drink the sweet beverage, and, of course, this spilled on the ground and attracted ants.
