Feeding the Hummingbirds

I noticed one day that sometimes when I am filling the hummingbird feeders the hummers do not wait for me move before feeding so I have to stay perfectly still until they finish. So I decided to take down the other feeders and hold the small glass feeder in my hand. In about five minutes the first hummingbird showed up looking for food then there were four sometimes I felt their wing brush against my nose as they would bump into each other for position to feed. Then two landed on my finger. This was an experience I will never forget.
