Hummingbird Garden

saw my first hummingbird!!

18 years ago

Today I was at the kitchen sink making a salad. A ruby-throated hummingbird came and perched on the feeder on my window over the sink. I was washing off veggies, and had to just stop and stand there as still as I could. He drank for a good 20 seconds or more. I was SO excited!! It's about time he got here LOL

OMG...that WAS alot of hummers!! How in the world did that guy get them to come to him and feed right out of his hand, especially in the beginning of the video? He wasn't holding anything that was red, or that appeared to be a feeder. I think I would have taken off running for shelter if all those hummers came flying at me LOL. That was a very good video, thanks!
