Nice, when were they taken and are they still around? My last home sighting (so far) was on Sept 24 but I'll keep the feeder up until the juncos appear - isn't that the unofficial start of winter? :)

Great shots. Well done catching one in flight.

Thanks Richard, I may try to get there on Wednesday. The hummers will probably be gone but it looks like a potentially great day for hawk watching (mostly sunny and cooler with NW winds - hopefully).

Beautiful capture. I am on the same boat Gary, despite putting a feeder for some time no hummer showed up at my backyard. There's always next year.

Going to Rosetta this morning did the trick for me. There were at least three hummers there coming periodically to the central flower beds. One even came to have a drink from the fountain. Thanks for the suggestion.
