Under our covered patio I was pointing out something when one of our male Anna’s Hummingbird flew on the tip of my finger and allowed me to walk round for over a minute before flying off.

What a great experience! Thank you for sharing it!
“Birds of a feather – flock together” My mother-in-law’s name was ‘Theresa’ and my maiden name was ‘Nickel’. With the similarity of our names we share similar likings. Glad you responded to my entry.
That is so awesome! I thought that hummingbirds were kind of mean so I was floored but amazed by this picture! I love hummingbirds and would love an experience like you had, how neat! Thank you for sharing your photo!!
