When I was a kid, my sister and I would go to my grandmother's house in the summer and she would give us each a clear quart mason jar. She had all kinds of honeysuckle and flowers around her house and we would just walk up behind the hummers while they were feeding and push them into our jars, without hurting them. We would walk around all day with a jar of hummers and let them go at night.
I've never been able to do the same thing as an adult, or see another adult do it, but I'm sure its done.
Hummers migrate thousands of miles, with some migrating all the way up into Alaska each year. They have uncanny pinpoint accuracy in their natural GPS.
