Amazing captures of the hummingbirds! Now you need to put some flowers in the background...

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

Thank you. They visit very few of the flowers we have in the garden on occasion, but empty the small feeders twice daily. That is where I get the pics, but I am thinking about putting them by some hibiscus just to get a few pics.

I got my personal favorite (and best in my opinion) hummingbird shots at a friend's home. I was able to move some flower pots around the patio to create a nice background.

my son and I made a triple Shepard's hook by welding a single at a right angle to a double. We hung the hummingbird feeder in the center and put two hanging baskets on either side. I got a few shots that were very nice but they stopped coming around.

I have a vision that, once I retire, I will make a garden specifically designed to attract hummingbirds AND provide nice backgrounds. It may take a few iterations but that is the plan.
