Have any of you folks ever seen a hummingbird marked like a bumblebee?
Several weeks ago the little woman and I stepped outside our front door on a Saturday and there, hovering around the snapdragons and the butterfly bush, was a hummingbird about half the size of my thump marked almost exactly like a bumblebee.
I had never seen, or heard, of one like it.
No, it wasn't a bumble bee, it was a hummingbird. I've had three vodka sours two weeks ago.
Can't tell for certain, but it might be a moth. There is a large moth, smaller than the hummingbird but when hovering at a flower closely resembles one.
We saw the same here (Oregon)....WAY smaller. Hubs thought it might be a 'baby hummingbird' whose coloring would change as it grew.
