They are so precious. I feel so sorry for them, they have so far to go.

what a treat to see a hummingbird that close up. Have never seen one except on here.

WOW how special for you!
thank you for sharing

Thank you for your response.

The birds we get are extremely territorial at when they first arrive in the spring.
After a few weeks they tend to relax a little.......a little :lol:
We have one male that sits on our rain gauge, which is about 4 feet from their feeders. He seems to be the dominant one.
He'll let some birds feed and others he chases away.

They're so funny!

He lets me know when the feeder is empty by coming to me and just hovering around 4 feet from my face, little bugger!

Ours leave about the second week of Oct. and come back the second week of march. Will miss them.

OMG the hummingbird is sitting on you...wow...I just love watching them...they are soooo beautiful....lucky lucky you...

Thanks for sharing! They are gorgeous creatures.

Oh what wonderful moments you must have!! Thanks for sharing this treasure....
