A lot of nectar has disappeared from my feeders this week, but I managed
only two quick glimpses of the shy critters.

I finally took an afternoon to have another try at hummingbird
photography with the Rokinon 650-1300mm. I swung the shepherd's crook
pole around, and that let me put the camera in the hall outside the
kitchen and change the zoom from 1100mm to 900mm. That gave me a
slightly wider field of view

Thanks for all of those suggestions - I don't mind DIY projects. Your
suggestions on getting a good tripod and head for a reasonable price
will inspire me to do additional tripod research.
