3. We have a nest somewhere in our trees

We see and hear the parents but our trees are too high to even hope to locate the nests.

Such a cool video!!!

7. What does one have to do to earn that kind of trust?

9. There's nothing you can "do". It's who and how you have to "be".

There's a resonance in a person's soul where they "connect" with a certain species of living thing. I had a friend who is now passed, and dogs might bark at her, but birds would land on her at random. She would kiss them and they would snuggle her.

It used to blow me away.

11. I had a hummingbird who was very territorial,

and he basically owned the feeder I had in my tree by my front porch. I learned how to do the Anna's Hummingbird call. If he wasn't at the feeder, I could 'call' him and he would fly right up to me. As long as he was in earshot, he would show up. He would hover in front of my face.

That was many years ago. That bird was amazing. I wish they lived a lot longer. I really miss that little guy.

13. That figures. It all comes down to the individual animal.

I have had some special connections with some of my backyard animals too. But I didn't recognize it as it was happening. I miss those special critters.

10. If you sit quietly with a dish of sugar water they will land

Being WI Badger fans, we have had hummers follow us around the yard in our red t-shirts

12. A few years ago we had a nest right outside our breakfast table window

We got to watch the feedings every day
