Another Cool Toy I May Have to Aquire

Well, I'm back for what seems to be a million year post. Several months ago in the summer, I posted a picture on Facebook of me feeding some of our hummingbirds that visited our area. I'm sorry blog readers that I posted on Facebook and not right here. But for those who missed it, here is the picture.
















It's hard to see the little guys, but they are there. It was actually easier than I thought. It only took about 5 minutes of waiting and there they were. It was quite fun.
Now, I have found something that may take this experience to the next level.

Behold, the eYe2eYe Wearable Hummingbird Feeder!














There is so much about this thing that makes it really cool. The bright colors are designed to look like red rhododendrons so as to attract the hummers to you. It looks a little strange when you look at the whole thing and I can't help to think that if the birds actually get that close to you, you may go crosseyed looking at them.



















And unfortunately, because I'm not getting any younger, one of the first things I thought was if this might be able to work with my reading glasses. But realistically I will probably never have one of these because it runs about $80. Oh well. I guess I will just have to keep doing it the old fashioned way.

Not to worry . . . all you have to do is stop by some sunny afternoon and try it out . . . Humboldt County, California . . . and thanks for the post . . . cottage industry needs all the help it can get. Warm wishes, Doyle (the inventor of the Wearable Hummingbird Feeder)
