The Consolation Prize?

This gallery contains 8 photos. Despite its pastel pink flowers, the new hummingbird feeder is getting the cold shoulder from the hummingbirds, but at least, the old, much less flashier one is not … from the chickadees, anyway. Here’s a shot of one in action. He’s looking around to see if I’ve noticed him.
