Yesterday evening at dusk I was just stepping off the back step in the light 
rain.  I heard an odd animal sound & saw movement near my feet.  For a moment I 
thought it was a frog-then realized it was a hummer that had been on the 
ground.  It flew off &  landed in the nearby redbud, a favorite place of 
hummers that visit the feeder close to the steps.  I wondered if it could have 
been drinking water that had puddled?  I couldn't figure out any other reason 
for that behavior.  I was particularly surprised since one of the dogs was 
under the porch sleeping out of the rain.
