Seems like we have a pair that show up in the morning and at dinner hour.

Very nice sequence. Definitely one you need to be set up for in advance. I watch hummers hitting up our feeders regularly and what you captured here typically is less than a second for the whole set of shots.

What is it doing in that 3rd shot? It looks like it's spitting water out? Or it found a nice curved straw?

Great shots Bob. I really should get a bird feeder for my daughters house when I am there.

You got it all Bob.. Prelanding, landing and tongue out slurping sugar water. Nice set of images.

remove the feeder and place a flower with sugar water on it even better results

Thanks Eric, that's an interesting idea. My wife just accidentally broke the feeder pictured here so perhaps we give that a try.
