I don't know how much nutritional value she's getting by licking this tree
branch but due to its metabolism a hummer has to eat a third of its body
weight daily. Anna's hummers subsist on nectar but they eat a lot of bugs &
spiders too for protein.

Hmmm. Upon closer inspection "she" is a "he".

D'oh!

Great shot Pat. I had no idea they'd even do that.

You take such amazing photos of these little birds.
May I ask what type of camera you're using? I admit to being envious of your
abilities.
