This morning the prettiest little yellow and black bird was sitting in my parking space when I pulled up. I didn’t get a close look at it before it flew away. Then as I was walking inside I spotted two hummingbirds chasing one another and I thought how fun that must be to buzz around like that and chase your friend in the cool morning.
I absolutely love hummingbirds. It always makes me smile to see the blur of their tiny wings as they zip around the flowers at school.
They’re really amazing creatures.
The cute little buggers are mean bastards to each other, too. They’re very territorial and like to fight. I used to watch bunches of them dive-bomb each other for the use of my mom’s birdfeeder when I was a kid. It was like watching the dog fights on Top Gun.
