Hummer sucks sweet nectar - humming bird in lilac

These little birds are amazing. They fly very fast, turn on a dime even when appearing to be flying at full speed, hover, hover while moving up and down and fly backwards.

Thanks so much... I don't have a video camera to show you the hummers that visit here! But you understand the joy. They returned several weeks early this year, not sure why. Incredible little birds, more amazing to see slow motion as you have done so well. Best wishes from Las Vegas!!

@danceswithcrayons Oh nice, but that's odd they returned early. Thanks for your kind words & wishes. Cindy

thank you for the post.

Is this your backyard?

Your welcome. This is from my Mom's neighbors yard at Christina Lake, British Columbia, Canada. My Mom also got the little visiters, but not quite as many as she has fewer feeders out. Do you get them where you live?

Haha they remind me of that old Star Trek episode where Kirk and Spock speed up in time like the aliens du jour and buzz around McCoy and the rest of the crew as if they're standing still...

Hi Cindy,

We don't get hummers in Asia Major :-( I have never seen one in life only on film.

So please keep posting them.
