I wonder if somewheres in the hummingbird brain the thought occurs to them, "Lovin' the nectar, but man, why is this flower so damn hard?"

Thank you. Yes, it's my picture. I had to crop to get it like I wanted it.
I'm going to have a 12"x18" or 16"x20" poster made of it, frame it, and hang it on our wall. This is my favorite Hummer pic so far.

Nice job with the album cover nathanm........... it makes a good looking one.

That's amazing! :thumb: That turtle really blended in with the rocks and he used it to his advantage. That poor bird never had a chance.

knew someone a long time ago who would have looked at that opportunity not have squab for dinner but turtle soup, although I wouldn't know if that type of turtle would have been palatable.

Wow, doug. That's one hungry turtle! :o

Have fun,

He's a beauty.  And all domesticated too; he's even got a welcome mat to wipe his claws on!  Don't wanna track all those bird guts into the nest.
