aww what beautiful photos! Talk about harmony with nature.
And seriously, one of these days I’m going to take some ‘bizzare’ picture, then ‘express my doubt’ on if it’s real or not on the net.. Watch people argue that it’s photoshopped and how ‘obvious’ it is… then show them proof that it’s real. Just to laugh in their faces!!

I hope you all know of the cuteness that radiates from these little guys when they hover… their little behinds wiggle back and forth!

Does anyone know the origin of this photo? This photo was sent in to a local tv station and some woman claimed this as her picture but I don’t believe this was her picture.

Nobody has mentioned the insane SOUND of a hummingbird in close range. Their wingbeats are actually kinda loud, and it sounds (unfortunately) like a giant wasp or something else scary. Many is the time I’ve fearfully ducked, jumped or hopped in response to harmless byootiful hummer diving.

Very beautiful photos. Immediately reminded me of when my grandparents and I used to handfeed wild chipmunks while camping. I bet it’s harder to do with hummingbirds though.

Dear Jake,
I am Abigail Alfano, the lady in the hummingbird photos. I’m writing to tell that you are 100% wrong with your analysis of the photos. These are genuine and the only thing done to the photos were cropping and some tweaks in brightness and contrast.
Please check out the site http://urbanlegends.about.com for the full story. I’ve also posted them on my personal website abigailsings.com/hummingbirds . Please visit the sites at your convenience.
I’m not the only person that has done this and there are other photos and documented cases online if you search for ‘handfeeding hummingbirds’.
Sometimes, you just have to let yourself believe in the magic, Jake!
Cheers!
Abigail Alfano

I am Abigail Alfano, the lady in the hummingbird photos. (in my pj’s I may add). My husband is the photographer, Sam Alfano. The pitures are real and not a photo manipulation. Please check out http://urbanlegends.about.com for the full story. This was quite an amazing experience and much easier than you would think. It took me several days and alot of patience to sit very still, but IT WAS WELL WORTH IT. I am happy that so many people are enjoying these photos. I think next year we will video the experience as well. Thanks for all of the nice comments. Abigail Alfano
