We have a family of hummingbirds that visit our feeder. They seem to enjoy the fact that they can perch and eat instead of hover and eat. There is a youngster who is getting pretty friendly. I thought it was a girl until recently when it perched and looked right at me... turned its head to the side to show a little dot of a ruby throat. It's a boy!
Recently i had to take down the feeder to refill it... as i was cleaning i heard this little squeak and i turned to see the hummingbird at the back door! ... looking in rather expectantly. Needless to say, i finished up quickly and got that feeder back outside (where it belongs). Fun little critters these hummingbirds.
