Hah! Now that was great! The first time I watched the video, I had to laugh as you were sitting there trying to balance and steady the helmet while the feeders are all swinging around in various directions. I remember that from my own prototype experience.. LOL.  The second time that I watched the video though, I noticed the Mourning Dove in the background, calling out to its avian friends to come by and check out the crazy lady in the hat - and I kinda felt sorry for you .. for kind of putting you in that position. (Poor Dale..she just makes a little comment and that SOB Lou goes and posts a challenge!)

Okay, not really on the feeling sorry thing. But I do need to formally recognize that you have fulfilled your end of the bargain. Even if you didn't have any hummingbirds visit, your valiant attempts and the video exceeded all expectations.  You did a great service to the world and its inhabitants by helping to debug the BFHH2010. Looking forward to future adventures from fellow pioneers!

LOL is right! You did a great job with the DMARH (aka BFH2010)!  With your red tank top and your plan to hide behind the flowers (lucky that you told me that you were there camouflaged behind the Lobelia..I almost didn't see you there), a reasonable person would think that a hummingbird would certainly favor the DMARH over the familiar hangout and stop in for a bite to eat. But, I guess in the same vein, people used to go to MacDongles and drive right by MacDonalds when it first hit the restaurant scene. We just need to give this time.

Thanks for your service in trying out the prototype. One of these days, we'll have success and we'll be able to say that we blazed a bold new trail!  Hah!

Lou

PS - Loved the album and really liked the Smugmug app!

Hey Ginha. Just wanted to tell you that your feeder is upside down. You gotta stand on your head to watch them when they're feeding.

Just wanted to help!

Now I know why Steve Jobs and Adobe don't get along 
I HAVE the latest version of Flash that my computer will support, and it apparently doesn't support THIS album 
At least the two photos of the area in the Imprints post show me where the box is...

I put the album in my Kodak Gallery. Here's the link:

Dale - Glad to see you following through on your end of the bargain. I love the pics. Thanks for letting us all share your adventures in the DMARH.  Hopefully, you'll attract a darned hummingbird with all those feeders hanging around your cranium!  And you're right..Dana did add the decals. 

Gayle..Engineer?  Nah - I don't have a left brain.  I actually didn't account for the weight of the hummingbird solution. Luckily, Dale figured out use of sunglasses to help prevent the hat from going too far forward! Hah!

Donna - no patent pending on the DMARH. (Dale change the name - she must have figured out my original name, The BFHH.)

Patty - I like the idea of adding an air conditioner. We don't want to outclass good old Roy Road too much though. I'll think about that though.

Okay Dale - thanks again. Looking forward to a successful venture!

Don't know if someone has already shared this, but I came across this video of Madam X and her mate, Surge, dive-bombing climber John Miller as he sits and waits for fellow banders to return falcons to the nest on the Sheraton Hotel in Hamilton, Ontario. This nest site is about 40 miles west of Niagara Falls.

I'm sure a lot of mothers will be able to identify with this humorous video.

After working for months in my basement on crafting my new guitar, I am finally done with it. Just wanted to share:

Very nice.  Is that a Shiba Inu in the Friends album from April 26?

Inu Shiba a long time ago.   

I get it.  Who knew you knew Inu, Carol?   

Anne,

So sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lou

Cute videos..
