Close Up Views of a Tiny Jewel: Hummingbirds

While visiting a friend, I noticed a hummingbird feeder attached to her kitchen window.  I thought it a little strange, as I have been feeding hummingbirds for years with traditional hanging feeders.  After a few minutes, to my delight, were three hummingbirds buzzing around the window hummingbird feeder. Going for drink after drink, it was the perfect close up view we all love to see.  I wish I had my camera.

These hummingbirds stayed as long as we did, resting on the feeder between drinks.  It was very cool to see them right there, up close…almost looking back at me.  Then I wondered just that: were the hummingbirds watching the people for their enjoyment as people watch them?  It is such a joy to view these special birds dubbed “tiny jewels” for they truly are just that!
