Title: Hummingbird Attacks Goldfinch
Post by: valhalla on 16-Aug-09, 07:42:44 PM
No pictures.  I was outside on the front porch cleaning the bird poop off the railing when I saw a hummingbird go after a male goldfinch!  Back and forth to the trees and the house!  The goldfinch was dodging, and the hummer was in hot pursuit.  Suspect a nest in the trees across the road.  This was one of the neatest things that I've seen in a long time.  Don't know who won, but I suspect that these two little ones couldn't maintain that hot pace for too long.

It's amazing the attitude these little tiny birds have.

The "attack of the Hummingbird" has Rich on high-alert!  He's disappointed that he missed it

Can you explain me why? I understand it is a joke, but don´t understand the meaning of it...

Thanks

We might be small, but we have more than enough attitude to kick some serious butt!  Or in the case of some of us, mouths big enough to make you think so  :happy:
