The Latest on the Hummingbird Front

About ten minutes ago, I had an amazing experience. I was making some Moroccan soup when, looking out the window, I noticed the hummingbird feeders were about empty. So I went out, collected the empty feeders, brought them in and cleaned them out, refilled them with fresh hummingbird juice (having a few days ago replenished the supply without filling the house w. smoke OR destroying another pan), and took them back out. A hummingbird flew away from the area where the feeders shd have been, and I started to hang them back out when I got an idea. Keeping v. still, I stood at the railing holding one of the feeders in each outstretched hand. Pretty soon the hummingbird came back, zoomed me a few times, with a tail-click and a few tsks. Then it v. slowly got nearer and nearer, until it was drinking out of the feeder in my left hand. When it'd had enough, off it flew.
Woah.
