Very good. I thought one was the distance from the film plain to the actual point of focus.

Now, after all that work - uploading the pictures to Fotki, linking them to posts and adding comments - they are all gone.

Sorry. A Quality Images thread without the images isn't very interesting. I don't know if I can put the pictures somewhere else (like PhotoBucket) and fix the links because the edit window has closed.

I just opened this thread and all the pictures have returned (they had all disappeared about a year ago). I don't know what's going on.

We haven't put up our feeders yet this year. The hummingbirds fly to where the feeders were, then fly to the window, as if to say, "Hey, get busily!"

That's *exactly* what they're saying! It is common behavior for hummers to go look in the exact same spot where the feeder use to be. I had one hanging outside my window and when I'd take it down to clean and re-fill, sometimes they'd hit the window to let me know they were waiting!
Remember, don't use colored nectar, just pure cane sugar in a 1 to 4 ratio with water. Boil the water 1st, then mix in the sugar, and let cool.
The sugar water can go bad fast in hot weather, so don't waste it by filling up a large feeder. Small feeders re-filled frequently assures fresh go-juice for them.
ByTheWay, MalWart had some really well made, easy to clean feeders in combo pack that were Made In America!
Check and see if they still have some, they make a great gift.

How is it, do you think, that these tiny birds, with their tiny bird brains, can fly all the way to Mexico, spend the winter drinking strawberry margaritas, fly all the way back to Colorado, and find the same spot where they spent last summer?

I can't remember where I parked my car this morning, and I haven't even left the house yet.

P.S. I should have credited lumberjim for the "get busily" comment.

Momdigr actually punched the button on this hummer.
