Folks,

Thanks for viewing - comments are welcome.

- Setup is simple, set the feeder on a tomato cage and kept a card board box on chairs to stay behind; No HSS

Nice images!

I believe an Anna's was sipping from our butterfly bush this afternoon. It was breezy and the bird grabbed the flower and flapped to stay in place while dining, never seen that before. Light was deeply shady so no frozen wing-flaps..
