Thank you, Rick.
I was lamenting the presence of the feeder in the photos just the other
night, and how I wish I could find a better, or more natural-looking
kind of feeder to attract them. I hadn't thought about baiting actual
flowers. I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks for the idea!

I like these.
If you could figure out a way to disguise the feeder, or put some nectar inside
some real flowers, you could have some truly killer shots.

This little guy appears to being growing accustomed to my presence near the
feeder. It won't be long before I can park myself right under it and get some
great close-ups. There are others who visit the yard, so I'm considering
getting another feeder or two.

And, yes, I've been told not to use the nectar with the red dye, so I'll go to plain
simple syrup when this nectar runs out. I just assumed that, being labeled as
"hummingbird nectar" it was OK to use for hummingbird nectar.
Comments and suggestions welcome as always!
