I left an artificial rose outside with a straw reservoir filled with sugar water as a feeder. Once this pretty little girl got used to the fake rose, I decided to try it in my mouth. It only took 11 minutes of patience for it to pay off. ;-) Watch in 1080HD for a better viewing experience.
I did my research and found that she is a female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. The male is very impressive and he has been around quite a bit. They may be a mating pair with a nest nearby.

She probably would have fed longer, but I moved my eyelid at 00:44 and that's when she backed off and had second thoughts. I'm going to try it a few more times and see what she does.
