They must be so easy to photograph while in flight feeding since they hover. So they turn up when summers ending do they?

Ps. 2nd last is perfect.

We have 2 hummingbirds that show up maybe twice a day for maybe 5 minutes. They are tough to catch.
There is a public flower garden that a more than a dozen will be there for a couple of weeks in September.
There's only two there are of yesterday, but those numbers should pick up soon.
But yah, when there are more in the area, it's easier to get flight shots.

I do sometimes get them slacking off.

Is his beak a little deformed? Ive got a little male black bird with the same thing, doesn't stop him digging in the mulch to find bugs.

Would love to photograph hummers, always great seeing pics of'em!

I don't remember it having any trouble feeding, so no, I don't think it's deformed.
