Every year one or more hummingbirds build nests in the redwood tree branches on the side of my house. I was sitting out there yesterday and this little guy started to make dive bomb runs around my head. He must of thought I was threatening.
Not a very good pic, but best I could do with an iPhone and a hummingbird in attack mode.
We actually have a lot of birds around the place, including birds of prey. Not uncommon to be picking up their left over carnage from the yard. One time a little finch like bird landed on my arm and sat there for awhile before taking off. Maybe it felt protected or maybe it was just tired, or maybe it was near-sighted and thought I was a tree. Who knows, but I've never had that happen before.
