[QUOTE="richg99, post: 420989, member: 4376"] I was fishing about 30 feet off of a steep bank. Looked behind me and saw what I thought was a big dragonfly splashing on the surface. Watched it for a minute or two. I even threw my plastic worm nearby, thinking that a bass might be watching from below. When nothing happened, I went back to fishing the shoreline. After another minute or two, I looked back and realized that the "dragonfly" had a beak! I putted over on my trolling motor and saw that it was a small hummingbird. She must have somehow fallen into the water. Her wings were too wet to allow take-off. I extended my rod tip and she grabbed on quickly. She buzzed her wings a few times but couldn't fly away. I deposited her near the stern of my 16-foot boat and there she stayed for the better part of an hour. She did move around a bit, but mostly kept near the sides and deck of the boat. When it started to rain some, I packed up and headed back to the dock. By the time I arrived, my little visitor had flown away. richg99 [/QUOTE]
