[Birdtalk] Hummingbirds . . . priceless!

[Mark Stackhouse]

When I was about 12, and on a family camping trip to Colorado in  
August, I made a hummingbird feeder from a paper cup, and had  
Broad-taileds perching on my fingers and arms (even when not feeding).  
My father took lots of pictures - it was one of the most magical  
experiences of my youth.

I've tried to do the same here at my house a time or two, but the  
Black-chinneds seem to be too shy. The woman in these photos has all  
Broad-taileds and I think they are tame enough for such a close  
encounter.
