They're mostly angry with me for not filling the feeders. It's getting
late in the year for them to be hanging around as the nights are getting
pretty cool, and I've been told it's best not to feed them too late in
the year. How true that is, I don't know. But, I did have one pause and
look at me while I was out there taking these shots, as if to say, "What
gives? Make with the nectar, pal!"

What do the hummingbirds seem to think about all this?

An interesting development occurred at the hummingbird feeder this
morning. I've been taking shots of a mantis that's been hanging out
there for the past several days. Then, late last night, I noticed there
were two of them there, but the light was so low I didn't even bother to
grab the camera as focusing would have been out of the question. So, I
put it off hoping they might still be there this morning.
Well, they were. And it seems they've gotten one another's attention.
The one on the bottom actually struck out at the one on top before
scurrying back down to the bottom of the feeder. Unfortunately, I wasn't
quick enough to capture it. But, I was pretty happy to get this shot
nonetheless.
