thank you :) I have never seen a humming bird alive. they seem to have the same beak. this love yellow bells nectar, they will hover for a short time but not easy to time the shot. since they will eventually land on the flower then get suck the nectar :) maybe someday i can get lucky and time the shot while it hovers.
