Feels magical every time I encounter one. They remind me of fairies.
I call mine customers. I put out feeders so I get a lot of these little boogers. I sit in my back porch and watch them duke it out for dominance. Love hearing that buzz and their tiny little chirps.
If the feeders run low I swear they will just hover and stare through the screens at me until I refill them. They're bossy and I love them.
They buzz the top of my head if I dare step outside without more food when the feeders are low
Yeah they’re very elegant and fairy like
If Tinkerbell ate her own weight in food every day.
