Thank you, Dan.
I had a tough time getting shots of them at first, but now that they
seem to be getting used to me, it wasn't all that difficult. The
toughest part was getting enough DOF and shutter speed. I finally bumped
the ISO up to 400, and that seemed to be about right for f/7.1 - f/8, so
I can I lock focus on the feeder and then pan over to the bird in AF.S mode.

This little guy appears to being growing accustomed to my presence near the
feeder. It won't be long before I can park myself right under it and get
some great close-ups. There are others who visit the yard, so I'm
considering getting another feeder or two.

And, yes, I've been told not to use the nectar with the red dye, so I'll go
to plain simple syrup when this nectar runs out. I just assumed that, being
labeled as "hummingbird nectar" it was OK to use for hummingbird nectar.
Comments and suggestions welcome as always!
