Greetings to all. This morning at about 6:00am, my wife and I saw something
we've never seen before. At our hummingbird feeder on the deck, we saw a
hummer hanging upside down with its feet attached to the feeder perch.
Assuming the bird was dead (I didn't bother taking a picture), I walked out
there to get a closer look and grab the bird, then it suddenly flew away.
Doing a little web research, I see that this is fairly common -- the birds fall
asleep and sometimes hang upside down.
Wow, crazy stuff. Anyone else ever see this?
