.... oh my! This guy made me work hard tonight. First off, he had his beak out of joint because in an effort to clean his glass nectar bottle, it dropped down into the garbage disposal and, you guessed it, I turned it on and it was half "eaten"! So now, to make sure that some of the glass wasn't still in the bottom of the disposal, I put my hand into the drain and managed to cut my hand. Not to have this guy win, I then trucked off to the store and bought a new nectar container - I wasn't going to take the chance that this guy was going to strut his feathers over to the neighbors and I wouldn't see him again!
So, the game began. You can see him sitting in the tree (to the left of the Shepard's hook, just behind the leaves on the left.
He finally got hungry enough to come out and drink .... and give me a "butt" shot!
Then it became a battle of wills. Me, the hummingbird and darkness. I still wasn't going to let him win, despite my itchy nose and the mosquitoes that were biting me, I was determined to get a good shot.
He came in but positioned himself on the far side of the bottle and then just keep drinking and popping up to see what I was up too. I think he won.
However, I hope you all found some humor in the story! Next time, I win!
