Can't help it, these little guys are feisty and fun to watch. Here they are feeding and posing. Most hummingbirds flap their wings about 50 or so times a second. This means all we can see is a blur. They must feed every 10 minutes or so all day, and they may consume 2/3s of their body weight in a single day.

Beautiful birds. Great shots.
TWG, Samantha and Kjell, thank you...
Wonderful shots! Another month and a half and they will be headed south again (from here). I have two feeders that I fill every weekend. They're enjoyable to sit and watch.
