Description
This composite photo is derived from a photograph taken June 5, 2012 in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America from my bedroom office window. The background is a scene near the Sheep River in Okotoks, Alberta, Canada.
I spend hours watching and waiting for these fascinating creatures called a Sparkling Violetear, no bigger than my thumb, to fly up and entertain me. I have been moving the feeder closer and closer, and it is now inside the window about 15� and they continue to come in the house for their dinner.

Then this little guy, who I have now named Tom Thumb, has graduated to eating from my hand. See http://youtu.be/hQEkObLN9Ag

Beautiful photograph Al ... stunning. Do the locals think you a little strange or are they aware of their new birdman? Instant Fave!

HaHa, I am the only white face in the neighborhood, so yeah, they definitely think I am strange. The kids are enthralled when they see me feeding Tom. Thanks Seth.
