Description

I spend hours watching and waiting for these fascinating creatures called a Sparkling Violetear, no fatter than my thumb, to fly up and entertain me. I had been moving the feeder closer and closer until it was inside the room about 15” and they continued to come in the house for their meal.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr_bZJ3WTNo
Then this little guy, who I have now named Tom Thumb, graduated to eating from my hand. See http://youtu.be/hQEkObLN9Ag
Watch how they drink nectar at http://www.wired.com/2011/05/hummingbird-tongue-drinking/
This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken May 28/14 in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America from my bedroom office window.
Final processing done with Smart Photo Editor and Photoshop.
