Hummer attack..........

[SELFBOW19953]

Was it a male or female (ruby and black throat vs a white throat)?  You might have a nest nearby.  The female gets territorial and buzzes you when you get too close, that's how I usually find the nest.  I have found nests and seen young ones in the nest for the last 3 years-looking for one this year.

That is just to cool.I hope it's good mojo for you.

This was a male Ruby Throated, I have a feeder by my deck that they come to all the time. This spring I had 4 pairs raising the devil and chasing each other. Neat photos of the nest!

Ron,
Take your feeder and and hold it away from you a little and put your finger on the perch and be still as possible when they start getting close..Once they earn your trust they will land on your finger if you keep your thumb and middle finger on the other perch's best you can ...Hold it liker a person would a wine glass...I used to do this all the time and then had my wife join in...It's the lightest thing you ever felt and once they start resting on your finger you can entertain children and guests as they stop by..Somewhere I have some pics of me with humming birds resting on my finger my wife took about 9 years ago...If you do get them landing then it's a shure thing to get yourself a Hummingbird bow....Just think of them as little salemen telling you to order a new bow..

Cool.

That's a neat experience.  You must have looked pretty attractive at full draw    

[ron w]

I like that...."little salesman"....LOL!  

[maineac]

always love those type of interactions.  Cool.

that should earn the bow a name i think, maybe "nectar"????

I once had a hummingbird buzzing around me and wouldn't let me alone. Scared the crap outta me. I thought it was trying to stick its beak in my ear!

After it left I realized it was only trying to get at my fletching sticking out of my back quiver.

Cool birds.

[ti-guy]

That is why i spend as much time afield as ican. Last weekend i was clearing irrigation dit ches of beaver dams and a little weasel was in the ditch next to me.  Then i found a big goppher snake, i considered that a perfect Saturday.  Wishwe had our hummi gbirds back

I heard when a hummingbird looks into your eyes it means your going to want a new bow soon...

  My wife is gonna love to hear that!

That is cool. My wife and I were sitting under a hemlock early this spring and one came pretty close, but not quite that close.

Those little guys love to dive bomb me every year when I'm out and about. One day in a ground blind I had about twelve taking turns trying to get necture from my nocks, sure makes the waiting game fun.

Cool!
