This hummingbird was one of about 15 to alight on the feeder in front of the kitchen window three days ago. But- this was the ONLY one I've ever seen just sit contentedly beneath the feeder, getting up to drink every minute or so, and then, only after about 7 trips and 8 minutes (I timed it!), he fluttered off, almost heavier and slower from his relaxation.

A Jazz CRJ approaches the runway at YUL, Montreal's Trudeau International Airport. The moon shiines down on it to make it all a rather spectacular sight for what it otherwise an ordinary event.
