Sticking Out His Tongue

Not my best hummer shot by a long shot but I've not had a shot before of a hummer with his tongue fully extended. That is some tongue!
Thanks as always for all your encouragement and suggestions

And I thought it was holding a bit of dried grass in its beak! Never seen a hummer before. Where abouts do you find them?
