I just can NOT stop snerking over the Subject line.  Or the first two sentences.  Nope.  Can. NOT.  Can't.  Too funny.

However, in the seriousness part, that is UBER COOL!  I bet it's resting heart rate was still over 200 bpm.

.. as in hummingbirds .. in my hand.

Possibly the coolest thing I've ever had in my hand.  They feel like they are vibrating or purring but it's just how they breathe. I had my camera in my other hand so I got super lucky to get this shot! Just wanted to share this handsome little guy as most of us never get to see them still and content. 

Totally flippen jealous.  Just so friggen cool.

 

How did he come to land on your hand?

We have lots of hummingbirds around here but I have never seen the color in their feathers like that.  Wow.

No it wasn't.  I was on a hike and happened on a couple of people that were catching and banding hummingbirds.  

You can see the other photos I took of the process here if you'd like.

That is so unbelieveably awesome.

Just don't get any in your eyes

It's more apt to fly in your hair ... it's the hair that I worry about. 

True, that would also be bad.  But I thought you were shaving your head, so that should no longer be a problem, no?

I was thinking the same thing - any of the ones that I saw in Vancouver didn't have those amazing colours. 

A very cool experience!
