A Hummingbird Fly Zone

I recieved this from someone and thought I'd share it. I thought I needed a larger picture, so I did a search and found this link with the same pics, but you can click on the pics and make them larger.

This is something I have never seen before, or ever even heard of. This woman lives in a Hummingbird fly zone. As they migrated, about 20 of them were in her yard. She took the little red dish, filled it with sugar water and this is the result.
The woman is Abagail Alfano of Pine, Louisiana - she has been studying them daily and one morning put the cup from the feeder, with water in it, in her hand; as they had gotten used to her standing by the feeder they came over to her hand. She says in touching they are as light as a feather. Abagail also said, 'if she had known her husband was taking pictures she would have put on makeup.'

Wow!!! How lucky of her! I caught an injured hummingbird once and tried to feed it sugar water to keep it alive, but it died anyway :(
