Yeah, I think that Green Heron's a better angler than I.

We have the Tufted Titmouse around here, though they aren't all that common anymore. There were apparently two successful broods nearby this spring. They're curious, comical little birds who I see commonly flocking with Chickadees and Downy Woodpeckers and amusingly prefer to take their drink from the condensation produced from the my AC unit, rather than the nearby garden pond compete with waterfall which all the other birds find irresistible.

They're tame critters, too, plucking dog hair from a brush that I set aside very close by after use. It's almost as if they watch and wait to pounce; doubtless they were lining their nest with the material. And they have quite a song for a little one.

Lol. It seems the smaller the bird, the bolder it is.

And, yes, I've been attacked by a hummingbird before. Not proud of that. ;^)
