I love hummingbirds. Oddly enough, if you sit close enough to watch them, they will sit still for a while to preen. I've found that some birds, like bushtits, are hard to see even when there's a bunch of them right next to your head because they always bounce around in the inside of the tree. Hummingbirds generally seem to be out on the outer branches. I guess they can because they're really light - and birds of prey seem to ignore them. At least, that's my theory. :-)) Keep up the good work. Always enjoyable.
