Very nice! The wrench even looks nice on the feeder. It contrats well with the blue of the feeder. And the hummers are fantastic! That ant better get out of the way though.

Looks to me like you do birds well!
I especially like the view of the hummer from the back showing the purple wings and the ant.
Nicely done!

thanks, guys. the ant is rather large, but still gives an idea of just how small these little birds are. i can hear them coming overhead when i am standing there....they sound like a large bee......i had never really seen any until just recently, and they are fascinating.

Yes you did very nicely indeed and I love that Ant in the Food Shot too..... I had the privilage of seeing Hummingbirds for the first time in my life on the Dgrin ShootOut.

They are such pretty petite little creatures, and fast, boy can they move.
I was amazed at not only the difference in sizes of the Hummingbirds, but the assortment of colours....... lovely series you've posted.
