The Hummingbirds are back and right now we are at the high season of visitors. I've started making a gallon of food for them about every other day and am needing to fill the feeders every day or every other day depending on the size. I have 4 feeders up and am thinking about putting up another one. Today I was taking the feeder down by the back door to bring in to refill and the little birds wouldn't quit feeding. I was holding the feeder and as soon as all the birds were off I quickly brought it in. Buuutttt one little bird followed the feeder in. She went straight up to the high window. I had to pull a Gabe to get her down.
I couldn't let this picture opportunity pass me by. She patiently waited for me while I got my camera ready.
I decided to see if she would let me pick her up.
She was catching her breath before she flew off.
She flew right to the feeder. I understand the saying if someone is frustrated that their feathers are ruffled. I think she was frustrated see her ruffled feathers.
I'm sorry she had to have that experience but it was cool to hold her in my hands.
