Sorry fellow birders
I got the straight scoop from a friend of mine. He said, and I quote.
"The hummer carried a stick as it flew up the coast line. when it got
tired it would drop the stick in the water and land on it to rest
awhile,
then it would hover and pick up the stick and take of again."
I assume it picked up some snacks from the passing cruise ships, becuase
there is a rumor that it landed next to a lady--put it's wings around
her and NECTAR. And dats the truth!!!
Do I have to sign this????
