The hummingbirds must be thirsty

This morning, I woke up pretty early. I always have a hard time sleeping the first night in a new place, so I decided to go out exploring the area now that I can actually see what there is out there. When we got in last night, it was already so dark and we couldn't see anything. This area is so beautiful and I am excited to go out with my camera and explore things a bit before spending the rest of the day in the pool.

When I was going around the resort taking pictures, one of the workers was out and asked me if I had seen the hummingbirds yet. He told me that they had a bunch of feeders set up and that a bunch of hummingbirds gather around them to get something to eat.

It took a while of standing near the feeders for the hummingbirds to build up the courage to get close again and get a drink. I wish I had a longer lens for these types of shots so that I don't have to be so close. The 100mm is good for macro shots, but it isn't ideal for these types of shots since I have to crop in my photos more than I like to.

I am still pretty happy with how these shots turned out. I was probably taking pictures of them for about 30 minutes and so many people passed me and probably thought I was a weirdo because I was just standing in the middle of a flock of hummingbirds for so long. It did get pretty hot while I was out there and it is still pretty early in the day. I have a feeling it is going to be a hot one here in the desert today.
