One day Geoffrey yelled "I think a big bug bumped the window!" When we went to take a look we discovered a tiny hummingbird lying on the front porch. We were deciding what to do when a huge cat came walking by. I picked up the poor stunned bird to see if he was even alive. He was, but what do we do? As Lenny went to get some hummingbird nectar, I yelled to him to bring my camera too. While Lenny was gone, the bird sort of stood up. After a while he ruffled his feathers. We went out on the lawn and poured the nectar from one cup to another so the bird cold drink if he wanted to. He did. After a few sips and a little more rest, he took off, but first buzzed Lenny, Geoffrey, then me, then SHOT away. It was as if he was thanking each one of us for helping him and to let us know he was ok. |
