:iconcaitiekabob: and I have been working with the local hummingbirds...I have a bunch more photos to put up, but we had to put this one up first!

Cait had them eating out of her hand and several times they sat on her finger!

Full size is best!

It was lots of fun getting to this point - we haven't put in that kind of concentrated effort since but they'll still be quite the models for more standard shots :love:

LOL, I'm feeling a bit nervous - my daughter and I are going on a trip in a few weeks, leaving my husband home....I'm not sure if he's going to be as conscientious about keeping the feeders filled :giggle: the little freeloaders may have to go search out some more flowers!
