One Hummingbird

I mixed some sugar water,
Hoping there would be a visit.
One hummingbird obliged, but oh,
That viewing was exquisite.

He darted to the feeder,
Little winglets all a’blur
And he sipped to his contentment 
(Or it maybe should be her).

I grabbed my iPhone camera,
Thinking I could catch that sight,
But just one hummingbird came by
And still, that is all right.

Although I have thousands of hummingbird photos, the ones I like best are of hummingbird nests, which are absolutely exquisite. I take that back as I have a photo of a female hummingbird not impressed with a male's mating ritual which I love . . . .
