This is just
too cool to keep to myself. Over the years I have had several hummingbirds
come by and take a brief drink out of the hose while I am watering my
garden. A couple of days ago I had one come up and take a drink, and then
hung out bathing himself for over 2 minutes and just inches from my hand.
He would have stayed longer, but when he flew up close to the nozzles,
and alternated dipping his feet in for a good wash.... my laugh startled
him for a few seconds. Now he has come back and done the bathing routine
for 3 days in a row, and up to 5 times a day. Today, I went outside and
there were 3 of them hanging out waiting for me, and I actually had 2
of them bathing in the hose at once. Anyway, I have been able to catch
quite a few episodes on digital video, and have one of them here for your
viewing pleasure. This video is the property of
