Hummingbird pictures...

This is my first year feeding the hummingbirds, so I didn't expect many exciting experiences. Boy, was I wrong!

I noticed yesterday that the feeder needed to be refilled, so I took it down, cleaned it and refilled it. As I opened the door, the hummingbird was there chattering at me, fussing about the feeder being gone, I guess. As I moved to hang it, the hummer hovered right beside the feeder. I decided to grab the camera and get brave. I held it out in front of me and the hummer drank while I was holding it! I was so excited! Here are some pictures.

Oh, you'll have to ignore my dirty fingernails. I had been planting most of the day. ;o)

He never would sit on the perch to drink, but I'm hoping that will come soon.

I was snapping pictures as quickly as my camera would shoot! LOL

He would look at me, then drink, then look at me, then drink. It was so fun!

Last one for now. I hope to have more soon. It's such a blessing to be able to interact with these beautiful creatures! They're so brave to be so small!
