Got me an environmentally friendly hummer

Now this is the kind of hummer that I love. I've been trying to get closer over the past couple of weeks. Today she let me get within a foot of her as she sat on the feeder drinking. Here are the results.






Thanks
Praveen.

What amazing closeups! Those little birds are so bold for their size. Once I went out to refill the feeder while wearing a red shirt and had an Anna's come zipping up a few inches from my face. :O

I think you're right. 'Course the startle factor sent me sliding down a steep bank and richocheting off a tree.

The little hummer probably gets better gas mileage from that sugar water.

I had a couple of those guys knock me over once when I was putting up Christmas decorations. I was laughing so hard I couldn't get up.
I was too close to the feeder and in the middle of a territory battle. My fault.
