The first time I saw one up close I was sitting in a meadow resting. I was out of the Marine Corps and at a Geology Summer camp in Flagstaff, Az. It was flitting around all around me and finally just came up and stared me in the eyes - about two feet away - amazing for me!
I planted some trumpet vines several years ago and they’re finally starting to take off. If those don’t attract hummingbirds nothing will.
