Because they don't know the words to the song

Hummingbird

My mother-in-law has a hummingbird feeder in the flowerbed in front of her house. The last time I was up there, I watched the hummingbirds feeding, and found myself wishing I had my camera. Today, I remembered to take my camera with me when we went out to her house. After finishing up with some chores that needed to be done, I sat in the front lawn, patiently waiting for the birds to return. Eventually, this male did, and I captured several great shots, including this one. Isn't he gorgeous?
