Early this morning, around 6:30 I was washing dishes at a loved one's house and looking out the window. She has a fountain with a statue of a little girl wearing a skirt and water pours out of her watering can. As I wash scrambled egg off a white plate I see a male ruby throated hummingbird fly up and perch on edge of the fountain. "Hello big fella," I say to the hummingbird through the closed window. I watch as he moves under the stream of water. I see a hummingbird take a shower. I've seen hummingbirds fly and eat and perch and zoom and zig zag but until this moment I had never seen a hummingbird take a shower. I ask, "You need a towel out there?" The hummingbird ignores me and flies away. What a magical moment I had today!
