Boy are they fast.
Hummingbirds Are Curious Things
By Tracy D. Farr
Hummingbirds are curious things,
they’d rather hum instead of sing
or whistle, scream, shout and shriek
like humans do, and I believe
that if those hummers perservered
to sing a song, and let us hear,
it would not sound like rap or rock,
or country western, blues or pop,
but sound it would like angels singing,
rivers flowing, love birds winging
through the sky and out beyond
the flower grove, out way beyond
where you and I can ever hear
the songs they sing, but will not share.
Instead, they hum, they do not sing.
Which makes us think they're curious things.

They are so beautiful! But, they are also mean, territorial little buggers who fight and chase each other when two try to reach our feeder at the same time. They actually chirp then, and dive toward the "enemy" with needle noses. Great picture!
Tracy, I found this after I read your post today. You may want to check out this blog post featuring Hummingbirds.
