They visit that one often. When I can stand still just inside the house for long enough, I am often rewarded with a close-up view of them feeding. They can see through the glass doors, and if I move, they leave. They are brave for wild birds, but 2' away is too close. So I have to remain very still and become part of the furniture background.
I've had a few opportunities to get pictures of them at that feeder.
I don't try too often, but it is nice to have some close pictures. Maybe I will get one hovering some day...

I dunno, seeing one still is impressive...they're beautiful, but busy.
My next tattoo is going to be a hummingbird..in honor of my always busy MIL. Apropos to nothing, I guess ;)
My feeders have always been near a window. I think we had 2-3 hummers when we lived in S. TX. They would chase each other around. In AL, they would hover in front of the window and stare at me (it seemed) if the feeded needed to be refreshed! I'll have to go see if I have any good pics to share.

Great photos=they are adorable birds!
Good photos. That one bird looks like he is glaring at you -- 'what are you looking at'.
Have you considered placing some 'one way' film on that window? Not sure how much that would cost or how well it would work, but it might be worth a little research, anyway.
