Wow Ted! This is a great set of images. Some of perched ones are quite appealing (especially 1, 16, 18) and I also like some of the "changing direction" shots with the spread tails (10, 11). These are great subjects and you captured them well.

My goodness Ted these are a beautiful collection, lovely detail and sweet backgrounds. I shudder to think how these images would present themselves if shot with modern mirrorless equipment. Simply beautiful.
All beautiful shots! A friend of mine has a bird feeder at her house in PA and we would see all types of birds fly by. I would take pictures with my phone to show others but these are the pictures I definitely want to take when I go back with my camera.
You combined all the elements and the technicals to produce some outstanding hummer portraits.
Clearly you had to plan ahead to have the appropriate and colorful flowers in-place when the hummers would be there. Your planning paid off well.
As one who's also sat for hours, waiting for those oh-so-fast brief hummingbird visits, I can appreciate the time you put in to get these. The clear backgounds in many of your shots really highlight the beautiful birds even more.
Bummer about those declining numbers. I've noticed that with butterflies this year too and read of it in fireflies. The links in the chain seem tenuous and unstable and it's a shame, ecologically and photographically.
Our hummingbirds, here in Central NH, vary year to year.
Their activity is day long, but definitely more concentrated morning and dusk.
What I have noticed is that they depart for the long trip south earlier and earlier, the last few years the first week of September - males first, then females.

The feather detail is tremendous! The texture of the feathers also. Beautiful color!
So well done Ted!
