To Catch A Humming Bird


This is only the second time I caught a humming bird.  One must be quick and have the power of St. Francis of Assisi to draw and capture this amazing bird.  To feel its amazingly rapid tiny beating heart (over a thousand beats per minute) was a twice in a lifetime experience.  I am told that if you swallow it whole the humming bird can be felt tickling your stomach for hours.  That experience will take second place to the pain you will feel from the beak sticking through your abdomen.  Check out some nice facts about humming birds: http://www.worldofhummingbirds.com/facts.php
