[va-bird] pishing for hummers?

I have never really tried to pish for a hummingbird, however, on a quick  
birdwalk at Redwing Park in Virginia Beach on Friday I did some pishing to see  
what was lurking around quietly. The trails at the back of the park are short  
trails and all meet up with each other. At four different locations RT  
Hummingbirds zoomed pretty close to me with their fussy noise they make. They  
all 
(or perhaps just one that just happened to go everywhere I did) would go to  a 
tree and perch or zoom on away.
Thinking the whole thing was a bit bazaar, I made a return trip today and  
took the trail farthest away from where I was the other day. In the 10 minutes 
I 
 was there, sure enough another Hummer zoomed by fussing after I pished.I 
thought  it was interesting and wondered if anyone else has ever "pished off" a 
 
hummer?
By the way the Ovenbirds were VERY cooperative and gave me several nice  
looks while they walked in the trees and some on the ground.
