And Now a Word about Hummingbirds.

See what happens when I pay attention! Yikes, I get so angry.

And now, a word about hummingbirds.

Hummingbirds are the most aggressive creatures I've ever seen in nature. They are so tiny and yet so territorial. They will battle over the yellow feeders and ignore the blue feeders. The males are so protective of the females and if you watch closely you can witness their sword fights. Fascinating. They are very adept and full of bravado. They are clearly successful breeders. There seems to be no shortage of hummingbirds. They are a gift. What an enormous joy!
