That's wild! I've never seen the neck extended that far. Thanks for sharing!

Russ, Nice shots....I've never seen one stretch that far before either. Or maybe she's a cross between a hummingbird and a goose....ya think...

That extended neck is amazing and I guess it was to frighten off another female trying to share the feeder. It didn't work because both sat there until their bellies were full.
