Yes, that's my experience too, and it's very frustrating that I can never get them to hold still long enough to get a close-up photo.Inches from face- highly unusual for hummingbirds in my experience- they are very flighty doesn’t take much for them to fligh away
Back home we had papayas and these big thorny trees (silk trees I think) growing in our yard. They seemed to attract lots of hummingbirds, and the hummingbirds would fly right at your face and stare you down. It was terrifying. It was like a dart coming right at you.Inches from face- highly unusual for hummingbirds in my experience- they are very flighty doesn’t take much for them to fligh away
