One evening around midnight, I found this ready to mate male Cross Orbweaver hovering in a lemon tree in my backyard.

Thanks.

Try planting some flowers that they like. I try not to do feeder shots, unless the bird is rare for my area. Hunting them in the wild can be fun. I usually hear them first and then try to track them down. If it weren't for the noise that some of them make, I'd never find one.

We actually planted a lot of our yard with hummers in mind. I don't like feeder shots either, but they will rest on the nearby branches and that is where I try to get them. It's been hard the last couple of years because the yard has been in a constant state of construction and my patio shade has been non-existent, but hopefully that will change soon.

I know you know this, but a resting perch near the feeder should be placed so that the background is blue sky or green foliage. That makes for super bokeh.

Here's one of mine that got picked up by Travel & Leisure, Bravo TV and stolen by another one or two for commercial usage. (My lawyer is chomping at the bit, but we have to wait for Getty to decide if they'll sue).

Great details. I like these empty background shots. They really frame the subject and make you look at closely at the subject.
