Zippy

It was about an hour before sunrise and Zippy seemed to be anxiously waiting for me to come out with a fresh feeder.  I saw him sitting on the branch in the corner of the yard and slowly went for my camera.  

Zippy was still on the branch when I came out so I crept towards him stopping when I was within two feet.  I got off three shots with my flash before I annoyed him. The Zipper finally flew to an area where he could wait in peace for his nectar.  I brought it out for him as a reward for being such a patient model.

Take a closer look at his beautiful colors.
