    Some of the hummingbirds were fastest learners than others. This guy kept sitting on the feeder tube. I am probably the next not so bright guy because I really had trouble gets the flashes to work and aimed at the right spot. Had the feeding hanging from the original bottle/platform feeder spot, just lower. Not necessarily ART, but definitely humor. I guess he is molting with the very worn wing feathers.

    Mack:

    Makes me laugh.
    I have never seen a hummer with such worn feathers.
    I put up a new hummer feeder today, and it was interesting to see the different ones try to figure it out. It only had one port, where the previous one had multiple, so there were some perplexed birds. One little male eventually got it and really drank up a storm. You could see bubbles of air rising in the feeder he was drinking so much.

    Your bird is sharp and well exposed. I prefer a bit more of a green background personally.

    Look forward to more

    Cheers
