    My wife and I talked about putting the hummer feeder up this morning. So this afternoon, she mixed up some food and was hanging it up outside when a female hummer came up and was trying to eat while she was hanging it. Liked to scared the crap out of my wife.

    Pity you didn't manage to catch the look on your wife's face when it happened. ;)

    She said she heard the noise, but thought it was a bumble bee at first. Then she felt the air movement on her arm.

    Capt Kirk, Hummies are so not afraid of people and are so strong willed.
