I don’t have the time to edit them this evening, so, presented them as shot (remember to hit the HD if available on the upper right-hand corner of the video window), me and my hummers. 

For them interested, the first one is about 6-7 inches away.  The second one is a tad closer.  And yes, that is my hand; I was holding the phone with the other.  My neighbor was mowing the yard (8:30 in the evening!), so it mars the hummingbird sounds a tad.  

From one of the feeders in the front of the house . . .

And from one of the feeders on my deck (the action begins in earnest at about the minute mark; be patient) . . . .

I’ll try for better videos this weekend.

In case anyone is wondering, we are letting our lawn die off, planning to replace it with stuff that does not need as much water, like rocks.

Please, if you are considering bestowing me some recognition beyond commenting below, refrain from doing so.  I will decline nominations whereby one blogger bestows an award onto another blogger, or group of bloggers.   I appreciate the intent behind it, but I would much prefer a comment thanking me for turning you away from a life of crime, religion, or making you a better person in some other way.  That would actually mean something to me.

Should you still nominate me, I will strongly suspect you pulled my name at random, and that you are not, in fact, a reader of my blog.  If you wish to know more, please read below.
