Thanks, Randy. This could be irrelevant once the bird-bander gets there,
but another suggestion for anyone visiting would be to mount your
point-and-shoot on a tripod, focus it on the hummer's favorite perch at
the feeder, and let it run in video mode.
For what it's worth, anyone who wants to learn more about using
point-and-shoot cameras -- for documenting rare birds or otherwise --
might consider my two-hour crash-course on Friday evening, December 2,
in Montpelier: http://tinyurl.com/7mcahgc
