If you'd like to photograph these little jewels, stick a flower into one of the holes in the feeder. Block the other holes with a bit of tape. Add a spoonful or two of the nectar to the center of the flower, and line up your shot. Once the bird arrives and starts to feed, all you'll have to do is keep clicking that shutter.
