New feeder

One more try at a hummingbird feeder - our third one this year, after breaking the last two. The new feeder has a cool stained glass look to it. The most recent one broke the same night we got it. Not the feeder’s fault... my clever hanging technique had a fundamental flaw. Those plastic Christmas light gutter hooks deteriorate in sunlight, and they’re not strong enough for hummingbird feeders full of nectar, especially big glass ones. 

The latest failure was pretty spectacular, as the new large glass hummingbird feeder fell to the rocks below. We completely lost the ant moat hanger extension, the plastic reservoir dish broke, the reservoir cover with the pretty flowers with holes in the middle got dented, and a chunk broke off the main glass tank. It only took a few hours for the weight to bend the plastic gutter hook open and cause it to drop. So now I'm trying something new, a metal gutter hook, that I found online, as my local hardware store had nothing like what I wanted. I hope it will work much better… hopefully it will never break.
