Finger-Perching Ruby-throated Hummingbirds

West Virginia naturalist/nature writer Scott Shalaway recently reported (on the PABIRDS, WVBIRDS, and HUMNET listservs) his close-encounters of the feathered kind at his home in Cameron, in West Virginia?s Northern Panhandle.: Shalaway?s written description of hummers delicately perching on his, his wife?s, and his daughter?s fingers to sip nectar from a hummingbird feeder, beautifully supplemented with color photographs of this unusual behavior, has been posted here. Those must have been some hungry hummingbirds!
