Set up your camera in a blind focus on where you will take the picture when a bird flies into range, and take pictures when a bird is in the viewfinder. My aunt had a hummingbird feeder outside her dining room window. I would set up a telephoto lens in the living room and shoot through the window. That won't get you the best hummingbird shots, being through window glass and all, but it will let you observe these little creatures with relative ease. The lube shop beside the resteraunt where I worked once had a humming bird fly in through one of the overhead doors one day. The little guy couldn't find his way out, and after a while just landed and allowed himself to be captured. We gave it some honey from the restaurant and water, and after a while he had some honey and then flew away.
