Haha. That's amazing! Very cute. Bet you had to be patient to get that, but it was well worth it!

I've been trying to get a good capture of a hummingbird a few times this summer, and I've got some decent shots. But nothing like this, Crystal clear, such details and color. I mean like WOW.

Thanks for all of your comments! Lynnfagerlie, I had never seen this before either until very recently. Hard to believe I've never noticed they had tongues before! Guess I had to get interested in photography before I could see it. It's amazing the things I've learned. Noah, you've done a great thing by creating the Animal Kingdom groups! I just love them! Thanks for your comment!

Egad ... now that's a tongue !! Nice capture !! Well they have to get inside those little holes in feeders somehow ... a tongue like this must work pretty well.
