Oh my goodness. Wish I had broadband.

nice job, jane. very cool. their tongues really are surprisingly long.

OMG! That is fascinating and they are really longer than I ever thought.

Thats neat I actuall just saw a baby hummingbird come to my window feeder with his tongue sticking out Iwas so close but I didn't have my camera. Sarah

Last week Sassy came for a drink and she had her tongue out! It's pretty awesome! Beautiful shots Jane. What kind of camera do you have???

I like the humzinger feeders because you can see that long tongue down in the saucer.

I am using a Hitachi DVD camcorder. It writes directly to disk and then I can connect it to my pc and offload the videos to the hard drive. I try to keep them short to post them, since the files are very large, but I can also create still shots (albeit lower quality than with a regular digital camera). Best thing about my camcorder is the 18x Optical/500x digital zoom... I can be across the yard or at the base of a really tall tree and get a decent shot!

I'm going to try to get closer to the preening hummer tho...
