I got a late start today or I would have posted this earlier. I hope not to many miss it, as I know how many love these birds including myself and my departed Wife. Enjoy, this is really informative.

That was very interesting.

It leaves out that they don't have much fear and will come right up to you when working in the garden. But, if you have your camera, the disappear.

I used to have a video of a gentleman up in Alaska that worked with Hummingbirds for so long that he finally earned their trust, and he would cup his hands and fill them with sugar water, and they would land on his hands, and arms, and shoulders and then get their fill of the sugar water. I'll have to go bacck through my favorites and see if I can locate it. It could be on any of 3 or 4 computers. My bad!
