HUMMINGBIRDS darting all about, chasing each other some, but not too far. They were resting in the pine trees, drinking frequently from the feeders. A friend from Mars Hill reported a hummingbird trapped in his garage. It kept going to the rafters and bumping its head. After it tired significantly, he and his wife were able to catch it in a towel and release it outside, where it promptly flew to the top of a pine. After many trips to the feeder, it seemed to have recouped its strength.
