Still not getting the stop-action shots I'm going for, but did manage to capture two hummingbirds sharing the feeder. As many as four were battling over it at one time, but there were never more than two within 5 feet of each other. Those little birdies move fast.
They're brave, too. A couple of times one of them would hover about a foot above and in front of my head, as I was petting Domino (who was perched on the balcony railing). Domino has long since given up on paying attention to these potential snacks. Too bony, I guess.
