Fabulous pictures and first time I have seen or heard of anyone being able to hold one in their hands. What a treat!

I lve my hummers also and have not seen any for a couple days. But my sister who lives about 15 miles south has seen hers still.
I will miss them too. I had one caught in my screened in porch and was able to get him on my hand too by he time my husb got the camera he flew away. I was bummed.

Never even heard of hummingbirds being so trusting!! You must be special!

We used to live in the mountains near Yosemite. We had a single plastic flowered hummingbird feeder. When ever it got low the birds would fly around my husband, almost hitting him. Once I witnessed this when he was headed out to the barn and he just turned around and took down the feeder and refilled it. He said, "When they start doing that I can't get anything done until I take care of them!"

They were a lot more fun than the bear that tried to get to it. DH raised the feed higher into a tree after that!

Amazing. My cousin in Colorado actually has a lot of them and they, too, will land on your hand.

When I lived in Oregon we had one little rufus hummer that always came to say goodbye and then in the spring always let us know he/she was back. Amazing little birds!
