Neat video, DC Patriot. Hummingbirds are such lovely creatures and most pleasant to watch.

I watched a hummingbird nipping at my morning glories. What a sight! It is probably the first hummingbird I've seen in many years around here in Ohio. I guess if I put out a feeder, I will see a lot more. Next year...

I have four trees in my backyard which seem to attract hummingbirds (nests) and one feeder. It is funny to watch them fight over territory and the feeder.  I also have a fountain outside my kitchen window and it is interesting to watch one fly up and drink water that circulates up out of the hole at the top....... 

I love to feed the birds around here, but unfortunately it attracts pigeons and I hate pigeons so have stopped feeding other than the hummingbirds.........

I also have a lot of honeysuckle plants and aloe - when they bloom the hummingbirds are around a lot.
