I tried something like that for quick Nuthatches, but not many came out. The red bill is really pretty, it is a good identification marker. Fun to learn some new bird information. The hummers here are quite small.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-58727239845871380112015-03-18T17:44:50.712-05:002015-03-18T17:44:50.712-05:00They are "flighty" and difficult to capt...They are "flighty" and difficult to capture. My husband, who is a much better photographer, helped me with these shots. The only way to get them was to focus the camera on the feeder and start clicking the moment the bird appeared.

I think they are so small that their perspective of the world and other beings in it is something that we really can't understand. On the whole, they seem fearless.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-79283165939441486572015-03-18T05:11:49.203-05:002015-03-18T05:11:49.203-05:00They are so beautiful.
