I think your bird was checking out my new camera earlier.

The guy who tends the grounds where I work brought one in the other day. Apparently it just landed on his hand.

I wish we had more around or maybe I just don't see them... We have plenty of plants to attract them but I've only seen two this year and both times it was just for a moment. I think it's interesting we see them more often at our cottage in northern lower MI. If the plants don't attract them, would a feeder do any better?

DP, put out a feeder if you want to see them regularly. We have them pretty thick around here, but also had them at the feeders down state.

BTW, BOTH of those pics are terrific! Thanks for posting them, guys!

Hummingbird Rescue Leader !!!! Well done. They are such brilliantly beautiful and fragile little critters. We had one or two in our yard this summer, but they've already begun their migration. I hope they come back next year.

We had one in the house back in July - she got up in the skylight, I had to use the extension duster to finally get her down - she grabbed it and I shook her outside.
