That looks like one very well used feeding station, Jake!

That is an interesting shot of this smallest of our hummers following sapsuckers.

Very nice! I think hummingbirds feed from the holes/sap that Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers make-around here anyway. That's what this looks like to me. I like the additional bug up in the corner, perhaps also feeding on the sap.
