Yikes! That's all considerably more elaborate than my method -- sitting
on the front porch with my camera. I may have to give the artificial
flower thing a shot, maybe improvising some kind of gravity-fed type thing.
I did get a couple more feeders yesterday, though.

I like these.
If you could figure out a way to disguise the feeder, or put some
nectar inside some real flowers, you could have some truly killer
shots.
Rick ?
I know someone who uses an artificial flower he rigged up so he can
remotely fill it. Doesn't have to go over where the birds are feeding
to refill the flower.
He has a reservoir (quart jar) of sugar water with a tube going up the
stem of the artificial flower. He pumps a little air into the
reservoir with bicycle pump and that forces sugar water up the tube so
it overflows into the flower bell.
Once the birds learn the sugar water is going to be there & get
habituated, they don't even flinch when the strobes fire.
Here's another guy I know & how he does it:
