A hummingbird feeds in mid-air, its wings but a blur.
(Click picture for larger view)
"A flash of harmless lightning,The hummingbird does rest, occasionally still on the branch of a nearby tree; but only rarely. The nectar draws him in to feed and hovering, almost still but with wings always in motion, always active. Then to a vantage point he flies, to wait and watch and guard his territory. Fierce are the battles, back and forth, around and around the nectar. I often wonder that he has time to dine..... fast food, indeed!
A mist of rainbow dyes,
The burnished sunbeams brightening
From flower to flower he flies."
