Close Encounter September 18 2009 at 10:32 PM		(Login avorancher) Hummingbird Member 2006

I was taking a big drink of iced tea today and 2 hummingbirds flew through the opening between my elbow and mouth. Only damage done was a bit of tea dribbled down the front of my shirt as I jumped. Are these guys fearless or what? ********** Farmer Steve Deluz, CA usda zone 10a

Sometimes, Steve... you don't need a picture. The image that popped into my head while reading about your encounter was wonderful! Thanks for the story

Steve,
I think they deliberately wait until you are within their war zone and then they confer to each other to scare the bejeebers out of the human.
