So I wake up to "whirrrr thump. Whirrrrr thump. Whirrrr thump" as the little sucker kept trying to fly back out and hitting the glass. I blinked in surprise once or twice, and then very carefully turned the crank that opened the window a bit wider to let it out. It whirred off, I presume with relief.
Clearly this a portent of some sort. I've only seen wild hummingbirds on the wing three times in my life, much less woken to one fluttering around my room. No wild animal has ever woken me (in a house. The army was a different story.) So this was an unusual occurrence.
So without further ado - a poll!
What is the meaning of the hummingbird's visit?
I should go forth, and suck the nectar of life!
