Oh it is absolutely a joy of life to see them! You know, the more little tidbits i hear about your father, the more I wish I had known him.

I love hummies too. We didn't have them in the valley in CA, but my parents lived up in the hills and they had feeders all over their deck. During the day there were literally hundreds of them. They even got use to a few of them and named them...LOL Some are more aggressive than others apparently.
I loved going up there and just sitting and watching them.
YouTube has tons of videos on the. This is a Public Broadcasting video of how they filmed them and has some in slow motion:
Very cool. I sure hope this link works. If not just do a search on hummingbirds.

Joe and I watched this video with great interest. We've never seen a hummingbird, they're just fascinating. We also learned several things we didn't know before,like the fact that they also eat insects to get their protein. Thanks so much for sharing it here. (and no, you're no in trouble!) lol
