The red-hot pokers are in full bloom and are magnets for hummingbirds in our area.
I’ve been spending time sitting near a patch of pokers, becoming “part of the landscape” so to speak. It didn’t take long before the hummingbirds would fearlessly feed within a meter (3 feet) of me. That’s a good thing, because the longest lens I have for my camera is a 90mm.
Wow, this is great – so sharp. I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing, I have them coming to the French geraniums on my deck. And I have a 1200mm lens so that should do the trick, huh? : )
Haha, the 1200mm should do it all right. You might have to shoot from across the street! š
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Lovely…
Thanks!
