A very strange-looking hummingbird

[Tom Barry]

Because it's a tiny anole lizard, taking advantage of a slight seep in one of our hummingbird feeders this morning:

Nicely done, very animated capture.

Thank you very much.

Exposure has worked perfectly.

Good shot Tom, you've captured the little guy very well indeed.

Looks like he likes that sugar water.

I have a small black one that lives in one of our pot plants but not as green as this one...this one looks more like that Geico commercial ... Splendid shot... it does not fly, or it does?

Thanks, all, for looking and commenting. Izzie, these guys can climb anything and jump amazing distances.

I showed your response to my husband and he said "That's the answer to your dilemma about why your feeders were emptied one morning." I think it was something else bigger because the dogs were barking and carrying on that morning I took them out, but I did not say anything...I make it a point to bring in the feeders each night since.
