It's good to know not all of them are insane. :)

Walt,
We are feeding the hummers up here in Chicago.
They do go north, maybe even to Toronto.
Regards, Bob S.

Thank you, Frank!
I wondered how far northward these little guys migrate every year. I figured
you might see a few more this year, as hot as it's been down here. If not,
they're crazy. There's really no excuse for hanging around this part of the
country in this heat when you can just fly north anytime you want.
They are fun to shoot, and pretty gratifying when you manage to get a decent
shot of them.

Excellent shots! We don't often see hummingbirds up here (I've only
photographed one in the wild and it's blurry!), so I am very envious.
Cheers,

Subject: GESO: Hummingbird - 8/7/12
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!
