I like the second one. First time I saw a shot of one not flying/hovering.

Cool! I've only rarely seen pics of hummers when not in flight. How close were you able to get?

And 1 hovering at a flower

very nice! Wow the wings are totally stopped rather than a blur.

About 10ft or less.

He usually shows up at dusk and takes a break in that tree.

If you just hang around and keep low key, he'll roost on a branch for awhile.

The downside is the background and lighting from that angle isn't always the best.
