Hummingbird feeder attracts a curious critter

Ok...I know some of my gardenstew bubbies do not care for these little critters, but I just love them. They are playful, cute as a button, and curious.
This first 2 photos are my little hummingbird feeder hook buddy. He perches on top most of the day and even hangs on the side to sleep at night. When I stand at the window he turns his head to check me out.

The photo below was taken a this afternoon. He keeps showing off his poofy little red neck and bouces up and down. He's done this several times. Today is the first time I've been able to get a photo of him showing off.
After the photo, I started to do my daily chores and looked up to see him peeping at me. He jumped to the window and was watching me. All this time I thought he was entertaining me.....guess I had it backwards.


Later on today, I saw this little guy through my kitchen window. He jump from the trellis to the hook and then onto the hummingbird feeder. I've seen these little cuties on the other hummingbird feeder, so it wasn't a surprise to see him hanging out. Makes sense...sugar water attracks the little flying critters...which attracts the lizards.

I was shocked to see this little guy getting his sugar fix. He was lapping up the sugar water.


As you see from the photo below that my sleathy photo taking (behind my plant in the window) did not fool this little fellow.

 

That is too cute Daph Daph! I would love to find one of those in my yard!

 

Those are kinda cute but I'll let you's keep them there. Don't think I'd want to find one in my garden or in my house especially. But thanks for posting.

 

Oh DaphDaph I love it when I find those little guys in my friends yard.I love to watch them as they go about .My friend has those like yours in her yard .I saw one or I think it was like yours here in my yard last year.

 

They are so cute!!!! I watched, through a window, as my son's cat was checking out a skink. Sure enough, the little lizard finally had enough and detatched it's tail- I've never actually seen one do that before! The tail twitched like mad; it caught my dog's attention, but the cat was way too clever for that old trick and went after the lizard ( I intervened with nature at that point and brought the kitty inside) The tail kept twitching for 20 minutes!

 

Lovely lizards, and lovely you who got to take all those photos to share with us! The fellow on the first two photos is amazing, I never knew they showed off like that. Sounds like you've got mutual entertainment there.

 

Lizards would be a fun addition to my garden. The closest we've got here are snakes, and they do a good job with the rodents. You did a great job of capturing the little guy.

 

Great pictures daph daph!

 

Great picture

I had them in my SC garden. I never minded them. This is the fellow keeping me company in my Kuwait garden.

 

He's cute too, TBL.

 

I have lots of those as well. The little baby ones are so cute. They remind me of the Geico commercial!

 

Great pics DaphDaph. I don't get them in ME but have seen them at my in-laws in FL. He's cute, I'd spend a lot of time watching him too if here were in my garden. Thanks for sharing.

 

Great pictures....they are so cute and fun to watch I bet...I seen a toad in my flower beds today. He has been loving all the rain we have been getting...
