I was outside for hours today trying to get this picture in good lighting. The hummingbirds wouldn't come near it while I was outside. I set it up in front of my fav. window spot, and there you have it. I don't know why I even try to get them outside! I guess it's variety. My window spots a winner, I guess I just get bored with it a little.

Thats phenominal, thanks Tasteyg. Just imagine it, its so small, there are bigger spiders and beetles and moths and butterflies than that.

Wizzbang- They are very tiny, but they are so fast that they act kind of fearless. Did you check out the video on YouTube? It's adorable, the hummingbird uses the guys thumb as a perch to rest for a moment :) Apparently the guy in the video is selling ($30) it as a demo to handfeed hummers.
