one of our little broadtail females got right in my face this morning...
as i walked out to the garage from the house, i pass by the closest feeder...
 
i mean RIGHT in my face!
heheh
i could see her eyelashes......
 
 
 
i made fresh hummy gruel last night, about an hour before dusk...
and when i took the feeder in to clean it, this same little hummy female followed me all the way to the door...
about 2 feet over my head, i could see her little spots around her face, the color on the chest.
i call them 'greenbacks', but hell, they ALL have greenbacks!
heheheheh
 
she was chirping, watching...
i looked at her and smiled, and said 'be right back'
 
soon as i came out to hang the feeder, she was sitting on the power line right over my head, waiting.
 
LOL
 
 
so this morning, when she was floating right in front of my face, i think she was just saying 'thank you', because i cannot imagine any other reason why she would fly within 1-1/2 feet of my face, and look me right in the eyes...
 
strange, but cool.
 

Oh yeah, they definitely get their points across!  And they KNOW who fills the feeders for them - lol!

 Bats that's really cool. Maybe I need to mix some different  gruel. Hopefully Craig hasn't patented his recipe.

i use 1 cup cold water from the tap.
 
never from the britta, that can kill them.
 
 
1/4 cup white sugar.
 
bring to boil for 2 minutes.
 
let cool.
 
slurp.

Haven't been much of a hummingbird fan, but have been a fan of these birds.....

Not since a flock of em flew over my head back in the 80's........since then, I've learned to stay closer to the coop with my chicken_foot.
