The Feisty Hummingbird
Author: siggyThe hummingbird was feisty. Despite at least an half a dozen bees who were hovering over the feeder, it was determined to sip nectar. Its rear feathers expanded fan-like in an aggressive motion in response to the “invaders” to its personal space. It was determined to get its share of sugar water. I watched this scene from my large living room window with a bit of fascination. The hummingbird would not be deterred by the swarming bees. It was going to get its drink anyway.
