Humming Bird

I was out re-filling the wild bird feeders today when I saw a humming bird. It was less than three feet away between the branches of the crab apple tree. I don't know if the bird feeders or the butterfly garden attracted it but I'm sure glad did. It was very tiny and very dark looking. It didn't 'flutter' or 'flit', it hovered and darted on occasion. It was a pretty cheeky little thing, didn't seem at all frightened of me. I have an old humming bird feeder hanging around somewhere, I'm going to root it out and see if I can find out how to make sugar water for humming birds. Can't be that difficult, can it?
