A few moments ago, one flew in the side door, hovered a moment, determined there was nothing to eat or drink, then flew out the driver window. Except the window was closed. It tried the windshield. It was also closed, of course. Confused and maybe a little dazed, it did it's best imitation of a fly, bouncing against the glass several times, landing a second or two, then bouncing against the glass some more. That gave me time to grab my camera and get a couple of shots.
I hope the 'poor little thing ' didn't get hurt ...
ReplyDeleteDitto. What a nice surprise visit though.
DeleteHe may have had last laugh. Is that hummingbird poop on the dash just right it's tail?
ReplyDeleteIt's a cool photo, but your ethics are questionable. :-)
Questionable ethics? How so?
DeleteTongue in cheek,in that you left the poor critter butting against the window while getting your camera.
DeleteI intended nothing more than a little dry humor. ...too dry, perhaps.
Ah.
DeleteActually, have you ever seen them in true territorial mode? Can be quite combative and yet, once done with that drama, one of two that I was always around would always land on my collarbone; not sure what that was about but always enjoyed the experience. And yeah, I got hummingbird poo on me!
