 usually 
ruby throats  
 
i sometimes sit in the back yard and this ruby throated humming
bird is doing LAPS around the house at mach1
to keep any intruders from pilfering his stash.
 
when i sit in the front, the hummbird comes down to me and hovers
right in front of my face doing  facial recognition i suppose
and stays there for a full 30 seconds before jetting back to his spot
almost as if to say....   thanks.
