Humming bird, Frustration

[Napper]

Still Humming here at the beach! I am getting a little flustrated! Every day when the lighting is correct I camp out on the driveway at certain times of the day with camera waiting for a Humming bird to show itself.  Whenever I am there without the camera guess who shows up.  Today with perfect lighting, camera on my lap while sitting on a comfortable chair a Humming bird shows up and just then a dump truck drives by, of course the bird disappears. Yesterday a Humming bird is at the Rose of Sharon for a good 2 minutes I am on the deck watching without my camera.  Making matters worse when its is done feeding it makes a beeline directly at me and hovers  5 feet away then zips away.

My wife has this ability to combine words to create new ones, hence "flustrated". Most of these new words are directed at me of course.

Don't you know that's exactly why he did it? They recognize you don't have your camera.

By all means, have your camera by your side, even if the hummer sees it. Better yet, do what I did today. I kept the camera by my side, along with binoculars, but I covered it with a cloth. A hummer flew over the roof of the car and landed at the top of a bush adjacent to the car. I stood up because the bush is tall and shot over the car. Direct sunlight caused extreme contrast. Once again, I left my sunglasses on because I didn't want the hummer to recognize me.

I have a camo blind....

Any chance that you could post a picture so we can see you in your blind? ..................................... get it?  I don't suppose your camera can capture the infrared  ... you know ... a heat signature. I understand that a camera's sensor can be re-calibrated in the shop to restore its sensitivity to the red end of the spectrum, thereby giving it greater utility for deep sky astrophotography. Nebula are often rich in hydrogen, a rather important ingredient in star formation, and hydrogen appears red in a deep sky time-exposure. I wonder how that is done. Without the adjustment to the sensor it is rather blind to red-glowing hydrogen. What does any of this have to do with hummingbirds and their ability to avoid the camera? Well, nothing really. I live on a tangent and even with that vital trajectory I often end up completely off course.  Buzzzz.
