Feeding Display animation
This animation shows this little hummer's feeding display. Unlike the other hummers in the yard, it approaches the feeder from the side, about 4 inches to the side and 4 inches above the feeding tube.
Then it hovers for a sip, and repeats the maneuver. It ends by backing off about 4 inches, hovering for a second, then speeding off.
The bird repeats this process when it feeds in the afternoon during twilight. In the morning, it goes directly to the feeder tube, hovers and sips, then jets off.
Pentax istDS at F22, with 70-220mm Soligor manual lens at about 200mm. ISO 200 and 180th second shutter. Camera is about 4 ft. from the feeder.
