How do you get the band on his little legs. I love hummingbirds they have such a unique way of moving.

Wonderful shot of this guy. Very pretty markings on its breast. Hope he returns to your area.

An official Bander from Alabama came up to capture and band this guy. (Adult female Rufous)

I live in New Mexico and my yard is filled with them all summer long.They LOVE my garden and all the flowers I grow. Is this the little pesky rascal that will chase you. We have a variety here that loves to tease. Wonderful, simply wonderful
