Nature's TV.. doesn't disappoint

I just saw something (minutes ago) that made me stop in my tracks and watch. I never really paid that much attention to them until this evening.
I got back from town a lil' while ago and noticed something zing by, over my shoulder. We're covered in lil' birds, since placing four custom built feeders near our pavilion. So I just figured.. lil' bird.. enjoy the feast.
Then, I heard something. It sounded like a big mosquito. You know the type you hear on a summer evening, while sitting on the patio. Hmmmmmmmm.. Hmmmmmmmm.. Hmmmmmmmm. Then, there it was again. Zing! I'm not old, but old enough to be a lil' slow on the turnaround, if ya know what I mean. So, I missed it.
But then.. there it went again. This time, I swirled around just in time. Just in time to spill my evening beverage, step on the dog and drop my bird seed. But, I saw it. Or should I say, I saw them. There were two of them performing some sort of dogfight in the sky or maybe it was a dance. I dunno. But, it was fun to watch. One had an orange collar, but keep in mind I'm color blind. The other seemed kinda dull... but both were very fast. They'd hover, then dart, then chase.. then ZING!
I became so engrossed watching these dueling Hummingbirds that I didn't even hear the turkeys gobbling--just on the otherside of the fence.
It's odd. Until Dec. 26th when I moved out here, I'd no more pay attention to Hummingbirds, lil' birds or even big birds than I would rush hour traffic. It just wasn't part of the day.
Now, it's everyday and it beats the heck outta anchoring the news.
That's another story. For now, come join me on the pavilion's front or back porch. I guarantee nature's TV never disappoints and there's never a rerun.
