Yesterday's photo of a tiny, timid little hummingbird in apparent repose is a deception. Tiny he is, but timid is not an accurate description of this little dynamo. He is not in respose but is waiting to dart out at any other bird that may try to approach "his" bird feeder. Actually the bird feeder is Ruth and Bill DeRisi's gift to neighborhood birds. This alpha male hummingbird assumes it is his...to share with the females he chooses. He will take on even the much, much larger orioles that try to get to the feeder.
