Long in the Tongue

After watching this hummingbird bathe and drink from the fountain, I was lucky to capture it sticking out its long thin tongue. I read that the tongue is forked at the end to aid the bird in pulling in nectar from the base of a flower.

Cool… their tongues look so much like an extension of their beaks.
