The female Anna’s Hummingbirds seem to be getting more comfortable with my presence, unlike the males that swoop in, threaten with their loud humming wingbeats and faint cheeps. and buzz off to parts unknown. Instead of hiding behind the feeder, sipping from the back feeding port, this female Anna’s Hummingbird fed at the left side port and after each sip of nectar, she backed away several inches so that the feeder was not in the image. That’s what I’m always hoping I’ll get. I’m also experimenting with faster shutter speeds than I’ve used in the past. I kind of like the definition in the wing instead of the complete blur. I’ll have to try this in Costa Rica next week to see which I prefer.
