In June of 2006 I was replacing empty feeders with clean ones and this hummingbird landed on the feeder as I was carrying it to the pole. I stopped instantly and stood perfectly still because motion will scare hummingbirds away. From this came the clips you will see in this video. It would eat from any feeder or cut flower that I would offer. Someone suggested I try to feed it directly from my palm and success came the first day I tried. This hummingbird continued this behavior until his 2006 migration to Central America. In April of 2007 he returned to the same little plot of land in Louisville, Ky for more of the same behavior.

These clips were over looked when I made my videos of hummingbirds eating from hand held feeders, hand held flowers and eating from my palm. I thought some people would enjoy seeing these additional clips.

Video clips, Photos of Motion (gifs), and a slideshow are used to present hummingbirds doing what hummingbirds do. Ruby-throated, Rufous and numerous Latin America hummingbirds are included and if you enjoy this video, visit my website for more hummingbird action. Google enjoyable hummingbirds to visit my site.
My neighbor called me today to tell me that one of the eggs hatched. By the time I got there the second egg was hatched also. Here's a short glimpse of the little birds. I couldn't stay long because the mother was shooing me away.
