That is the cutest!!! It looks like the little fellow is making an announcement over the loudspeaker.
You're true to your motto Marilyn, "Laughter is the best medicine". It made me laugh.

Here's the full size pic. Looking at one of our hummingbird feeders in front of our front porch around 2:30 pm. That area is in shade in the afternoon.

Fleur,

It does look like that. I didn't even think about that until you mentioned it. I had some hummingbird feeders that had bee guards like that (in 2007).

Now, the bee guards are a little different looking. Click onto the link from Duncraft to see how they are now.
