Top Gun Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds are so interesting to watch. At the beginning of the summer we were lucky enough to have several little guys visit us quite frequently. And, now that the birds are migrating, we have TONS!

And, they get pretty darn aggressive! We enjoy sitting outside watching them. Walker finds them fascinating.

I have figured out that my mind works in strange ways. The other day Walker and I were sitting outside watching and listening to the hummingbirds. They are very noisy... not only their frantic chirps, but also their zooming! As I was watching, I couldn't help but think of Top Gun.



I'm pretty sure one of them is named Maverick and he's saying:
Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby.

And my response is, of course:
That's a negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.

And, then when they get all around the feeder and start fighting, I think of Viper:
We were in the worst dogfight I ever dreamed of. There were bogeys like fireflies all over the sky.



And, I'm pretty sure Iceman is out there:
You can be my wingman any time.

If one ends up in the pool, I'll know it was Goose.
