They also enjoy the water but usually take a long time deciding what to do.

They frequent my garden too...I've got 3 feeders out and I love to watch them battle each other for food. I've got a lot of flowers planted that they love, and between the hummers and the sphinx moths they're well-pollinated!

That's a great shot. They are awfully cute. Oh, if I had just a little of your patience Kildale. But I don't. Makes me appreciate your pics that much more.
