Many years back I had a small oak tree in front of home. I was very surprised to find a mummer's nest in the tree. I kept watch on iy until one day a baby flew out past me into rose garden in front of home. I went over and watched it for a while. A few months later I was by the rose garden when a blackbird was there squawking like crazy at me. All of a sudden there was this hummer flying between us, stopped, looked at me and then turned and chased the blackbird away. Was it the baby that had imprinted on me? I wish to think so, and that he was protecting me from harm. I will never forget that minute, and have loved hummingbirds ever since.
