Breakfast at my house

1. I have a feeder that is made of clear plastic, except for the "flower petals". You can see the ...

... incredible tongues of the hummers reach down into the sugar water. Amazing.

The flower petals are red to attract the birds.

Great pics, thanks for posting.

2. How neat! I'm thinking of getting one of the newer ones w/o a bottle.

Just fill the bottom part. A clear one sounds great. Will have to go looking for one. Haven't seen one yet.

5. I just don't have the patience it takes to photograph animals.

6. These are lovely!

Unfortunately I don't see hummingbirds in my area!

7. They're such tiny little birds. Mean, though.

Thanks, Callalily.
