We spend a LOT of time out by the feeders and guess they just get used to seeing us & that we are not a threat.
We can't remember all of the birds that we get but there will be a feww that have very distinct mannerism that we learn to recognize.
This is from a hummingbirds site:
Most hummingbirds die their first year, but when they've survived a full annual cycle, their life expectancy goes up dramatically.
The record age of a banded ruby-throated hummingbird is 6 years, 11 months.

Is there any way to tell if the same ones come back?
How long do hummingbirds usually live?
