Description
After I moved the hummingbird feeder to a new location in the garden away from the honey bees to a tomato cage, this little guy decided it was an agreeable location since it was also the perfect place to keep an eye on "his" feder and defend it from the rest of the neighborhood hummingbirds.

Thanks Sharon :) This guy was my special little friend a good deal of the summer. He would come when I called him and sit on the feeder while I held it! I think he may have been the one I rescued when it flew into our livingroom through an open door. He's moved on since but I'm glad I have a picture to remember him by. :)

Most of the time I see these guys, they are hovering around some feeder. But you caught this guy while he was resting. And you did such a beautiful job, so simple but so well detailed. WELL DONE!
