Hummingbird Happening

Yesterday, on the way back from a tasty lunch of tacos at Super Burro, we came across a low shrub straggling halfway across the path. It was covered with bright red tubular flowers.I noticed a flash of light - a dragonfly? Then I realized that it was a hummingbird. We had the best views yet as it darted from flower to flower and hovered, shining bronze-green in the sunlight, often within arm's reach.We had both left our cameras in Pachuca, not expecting anything exciting on this short walk. As for size, think matchbox, though the long beak would protrude a little. -Brenda
