FYI...

Don't know how true it is, but I've been told by a few people that if you plant RED colored flowers, they will attract hummingbirds...

GREAT PIX Sheri! Don't know about Red flowers but we have a Butterfly bush in the back yard and the humming birds are always around it. They are Really Fast so that makes your shot even better.

Well my sister got home on Monday last week. So on Wednesday we were sitting in my moms living room and I saw the little birds humming the feeder. I told her to keep the kids away from the window and try to keep the kids quite and I would sit in the chair on the porch and see if I could get a good photo. So I went out and sat in the chair in front of the window. I was never so uncomfortable in all my life. I knew that I had to sit still from what I had read and then I moved just a smidge and the bird flew away so I sat there with my head cocked to the side so I could see the feeder and the screen on the camera for another 15 minutes or so. Then finally the little hummingbird came back and I got several good photos of her. That is how I caught my little bogger the other day. But know my mom wants me to get a photo of a green one with the bright colors.
