Thank you! That’s good to know. I juat hung this feeder outside my window and have noticed them using it this morning, followed by that!

Boy, they found the feeder fast!!

Can ask where you are located? Hummingirds in winter are not common outside of the west coast, AFAIK.

Completely normal. And you should consider yourself fortunate that it perches close enough for you to observe. What a lovely thing to see!

Last night, I heard something hitting on my kitchen window and sliding glass door. At first, I thought it was our dogs looking to come in, but they were already inside. Maybe the wind. I live in Rialto, Ca. It's a wind tunnel funnel here. Nope, not that either. It ended up being a hummingbird hitting its little body up against the kitchen window and sliding door. I opened the door and on que, the hummingbird flew right in. It did not seem afraid of us and was attracted by the kitchen lights. I would turn off the lights and the hummingbird would find a place to sit down. Lights on, it would fly around again. During its sit down period, My wife managed to wrap a towel around it and placed it outside. Immediately, the hummingbird insisted on coming back in. So I let it back in. My daughter's got a kick from this and started posting pics and vids in their social media, of course. I even woke up my 4 year old, as I thought this would probably never happen again. By the way, it was midnight when the hummingbird shenanigans was happening...

I have a humming bird that has been to my yard on a daily basis. There are tons of hummer friendly flowers, but all it does is hover around the base of a mesquite tree right by our patio, then it flies off, only to return the next day to do it again. Anyone know why, I sure don’t.

Any gnats or small bugs in that area? They eat small spiders, little insects too.

They also gather spider webs for their nest building. Either one of those things a possibility?

There's this humming bird that has been coming to my patio for months. In the summer he was very active now we are on winter and the temperature is 32 degrees, he still comes and sits for hours on the tree branch. Is this normal, I thought humming birds supposed to migrate in the winter???

Where are you located? Several species of hummingbirds live year round on the west coast, never migrating at all. And with climate change, the winter habitats of several other species has been slowly moving northward.

I have had a humingbird playing "sentry" for years, either on my apartment balcony or on an adjacent tree (when there was one). This past year there was a tiny nest built on the ceiling hook of a plant and now one of the babies sits almost from dawn to past dusk on the very tip of my snake plant and at times the othere baby will come and play with it until he's had enough. So funny to have this going on for many years now.

My male hummingbird will sit on a branch close to the feeder. He sways and bobs his head while perched. I noticed he does when the leaves in the trees are moving from a breeze. I believe it's his way of camouflaging himself from predators. Pretending to be a leaf blowing. Just a hunch though. Seems logical to me. Hide in plain site.
