Post It's Not-Easy, Being a Hummingbird...

1) I once lowered my bright-orange coffee mug to be nose-to-beak with a hummingbird.

2) Directly in front of me this summer, a hummingbird inserted his beak into each handle of my bright-orange battery charger clamp. (And a few days later—did it again).

The Summer Tanager—a bird that is bright-orange—will make an instant meal of an inquisitive hummingbird!
