omg coolest thing ever, I spotted it in my neighbor's garden and then it came over to mine.

It was like four feet away from me for like 30 seconds.

That was so cool, I have goosebumps. I have never seen one IRL.

no pic, unfortunately!

Omg this is so cute.

I love hummingbirds. They're so tiny!

I love 'em. They're there and they're gone in a flash.

If you hang a feeder there is also the added bonus of them chirping angrily at you when it's empty. It's pretty cute. I think we have 3 hummingbirds that eat out of our feeder and we have to fill it three-four times a week. They drink like CRAZY.

I saw one three years ago for the first time just before I had my miscarriage. creepy! lol

But it seems it could have been fitting, here is something on Hummingbird symbolism.

My ILs have a feeder. I'm not kidding you when I say we had 8 hummingbirds yesterday morning. They were waiting and taking turns at the 4 bird feeder. It's simply amazing to watch. We had a male that was mean and territorial and wouldn't let other birds close the feeder for a few days. Today there was a lady bird that was pretty fat and she was not taking turns the others would come and go but she held her perch for a long time...red sugar water is serious business I tell you.

They're so neat, aren't they?

Aww, cute! I love all of our hummingbirds. I hate it when the bees hog all of the nectar from our feeder!

My nana has at least 4 feeders and after 10 years, she gets about 40 a season. It's amazing! They will land on your finger or hover two feet in front of your face.

Seriously, put a feeder out. The syrup is easy to make (1:4 sugar:water ratio). My 2 will dive bomb me if the feeders aren't out yet or are empty/too old. You can go online to see when to put them out & when to take them in (to make sure they.migrate for winter).
