We found the answer thanks to our Facebook friend Beej! This is a Hummingbird Moth. No relation to the Hummingbird! It is a moth that resembles the Hummingbird. Its long snout and its hovering behavior, and its audible humming noise its wings make, make it look remarkably like a hummingbird while feeding on flowers. We see him at our kitchen window regularly. We have a butterfly bush right below the window and it seems to attract a lot of flying friends.
just testing
