Humming Bird
Last night when I got home I noticed a humming bird sitting on my feeder and not moving when another one landed to eat. This is unusual because they are very teritorial. Then one started pecking the other. The one humming bird was very weak and unable to fly. My guess was that it got caught in the bad thunderstorm that had just blown through. Ashley and I took turns feeding it sugan water with a q-tip and then through a staw and eventually it got up enough strength to fly away. They are very tiny, delicate things and their feathers are beautiful and irridescent when you see them close-up.
