We have the Rufous hummngbirds here. They're truly wonderful. My cat actually caught one once, but I rescued it. It was fine, and flew away after catching its breath for a minute. But I can't describe the feeling of blessedness, holding a hummingbird in my hand. It left a couple of tiny little feathers in my hand, which I wrapped up in a tissue and have held onto for the ten years or so that have passed since then. (This story would have had a much different feel to it if the darned cat had killed the bird. This is why I don't have bird feeders at my house. The cat thinks they're a sushi bar...)
