JUST A HUMMMING AROUND
HUMMERS AT OUR BACKDOOR, HUMMERS AT OUR FRONT DOOR, HUMMERS ALL AROUND
ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO WE WERE INUNDATED WITH THESE LITTLE SWEETIES.. SO CUTE THEY WERE SITTING THERE ON MY VARIOUS FEEDERS AND EVEN MY FINGER TIPS.... THEY WERE LIKE BEES THERE WERE SO MANY OF THEM... ONE MORNING BRIGHT AND EARLY I STEPPED OUT TO FEED OUR KITTIES AND TO MY SURPRISE HEARD A SQUELCH..FROM A LITTLE CREATURE IN DANGER... MY KITTY .."ITTY BITTY" HAD SWATTED A HUMMER FROM A NEARBY FLOWER.. IT WAS LYING THERE ON THE SIDEWALK SQUEELING IN BIRDIE FEAR... I RETRIEVED THE TEENSY BIRD AND FLEW TO THE FRONT DOOR ...INSIDE, I OPENED MY CLENCHED HANDS AND THE LITTLE BUNDLE WAS LOOKING INTO MY EYES.. WHIMPERING LIKE A LITTLE BABY... TWEEET POOR TWEETY ME...TWELP ME TWELP ME... IN HUMMER TALK.. TWEEEEEEEET.....TINY TWEEEEET... SO MY HUBBY PAUL AND I RAN TO THE VACANT BEDROOM.. WITH A VILE OF SUGAR WATER FOR THE TWEET THING.. HE ACCEPTED A FEW DROPS OF NOURISHMENT AND FLEW TO THE CURTAIN.. WE RETRIEVED THE SCARED BABY AND FLEW TO THE BACK PORCH WITH BIRD IN HAND.. PLACED HIM ON THE FEEDER AND HE IMMEDIATELY FLEW AWAY.. TO THE TOP OF A NEARBY ELM TREE .. AND NESTED ON A CLUMP OF SPANISH MOSS.. STAYING THERE TIL NEXT DAY.. THOUGHT HE WOULD DIE.. BUT RECOGNIZED IMMEDIATELY NEXT MORNING FOR THE LITTLE TWEETER FLEW DOWN LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND I LOOKED AT HIS CHEST ... YES IT WAS HE ... THE FEATHERS WERE MISSING ... WHERE ITTY BITTY ... GOT HIM.. I HAD SAVED AFLY ON BACK HOME
