I don't have much experience with them myself - I've never put a feeder out for them.<br /><br />That mask is too funny, although maybe I could make one for my camera and get some close up shots. :)Suburban Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135537886717771317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-91058150333676667262010-05-03T19:39:38.322-07:002010-05-03T19:39:38.322-07:00oh my. now, wouldn't you be cross-eyed the wh...oh my. now, wouldn't you be cross-eyed the whole time? this reminds me of feeding the hummers with my mom last summer here in OH - they give you floral tubes with sugar water adn everyone sits around, holding anything red they can find (lighters, cellphones, chapstick) next to the tubes, still and quiet for loooooong minutes on end, hoping to attract a bird...we looked pretty pathetic. one bird came to visit about 20 of us...in as many minutes.slim pickinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12833617568090157365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-38962516020024499082010-05-03T07:10:04.174-07:002010-05-03T07:10:04.174-07:00The face mask is scary.
