If you love hummingbirds and have them in your area this is a wonderful thing to try with the younger hummers when they show up.

Just after a spring rain the young hummers here are so active and daring. I guess because of their inexperience maybe. Anyway, where ever your hummer feeder usually hangs, go out and sit just underneath that area. If you are still and hold the feeder steady in your hands they will come to it. It is amazing to see these little creatures up close and watch them feed right out of your hands!

Also a great way to interest youngsters in nature. My son and I did this together and he was just beside himself with excitement!

Goodluck and happy bird watching!
