My new favorite pastime is watching the hummingbirds flit to my feeders. They are mesmerizing creatures. Most species beat their wings between fifty and sixty beats per minute while maintaining a heartrate between 500 and 1200 beats per minute.
When I first placed the feeders outside, I thought one little hummer visiting would be all I’d get. What I realize now is when one hummingbird finds the feeder, the rest do too. Then, they start attacking each other and fight over who gets dibs.
