Hummingbirds are awesome. Wait, that one's a moth or something. Hummingbirds fight over a feeder. This guy gets them to drink from his cupped palm. This lady's helping an injured hummingbird drink from a flower.
Wow! These are amazing.

And of course the hummingbirds of the ground... a giant slug eating a flower.

Last year, as the summer wound down and the hummingbirds were preparing to migrate, they came fast and furious to my three feeders. As I filled the feeders, they would literally zip all around me, chasing each other. I loved it!

Thanks, agropyron. Wooooo, hummmingbirdz. Great video's.

Gorgeous photo redvixen.
See that fighting over the feeder¿ I've never seen them hanging on the feeder wire like that though, smart one. They're down right nasty to each other. I've watched them at a feeder, plenty of sugar water and yet not once would they all drink together. It's one at a time, then chase the one away. You know the swoop, in a curve. Nasty.
I agree it's wonderful when they're rushing you to hang up 'those flowers' though, that's different.

I was amongst Elk — it was a magical experience.

Cute Hummingbird Mousey Thing

By 'cute', they clearly mean 'terrifying'.
