Although you risked the ire of half the list by mentioning evolution, the
other half for mentioning creation- you played the ball nicely up the
middle by doing so in reference some something that flies.
Well played.

Nico if I bring this post back to flying, will that stop us from being WAY
too far off topic?
I don't think creationism or evolution offer an adequate explanation of the
mysteries around us.
Nico if you have a couple minutes, look up the 'Hummingbird Moth'. I don't
know if you have these critters around you area, but they are fascninating.
It is an insect that has evolved (whoops) to appear almost identical in form
and function as a Hummingbird. It is incredible to watch these creatures at
work. Their behavior, their flight pattern, if you didn't know any better
you would be absolutely convinced it was a bird. It's such an amazing
creation (oops) that either side could see at work evidence of a dogmatic
point of view.

I sent these pictures to the folks because they are such a wonder (not that
a part of nature is not), almost impossible that they could fly, but yet,
they are making up for their odd construction by flapping their wings
faster. I believe it's up to 80 beats per second.
Not to start a fight, but how did they evolve from a single cell? Male and
female, different in a precise manner coming forth from the same pool, yet
perfectly compatible and arriving on the scene at the same moment in time to
procreate. If they missed each other by a few weeks, they wouldn't have
survived. It boggles the mind.
Thanks for sharing, Peter.

Thanks Nico to pass those along,
I was just conducting bird census on coffee plantations in Chiapas
(So.Mex-Guatemala border) on the pacific slope a few weeks ago, and
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds where all over that landscape. In the winter they
get a few local flowers but they also hawk for insects and I've also seen
them "stealing" insects caught on spider webs.
Amazing little birds (2-6 grams) that hatch throughout NE America and
winters mostly in Central America all the way to Panama. At least if you
bump into those on your plane it won't be as bad as a Canada Geese that can
weigh up to 30 lbs...
They haven't made it yet to NW Ohio yet!
waiting impatiently for spring and warmer weather,
a tropical guy,

HUMMINGBIRD LANE
This is something I have never seen before, or ever even heard of. This
woman lives in a Hummingbird fly zone. As they migrated, about 20 of them
were in her yard. She took the little red dish, filled it with sugar water
and this is the result.
The woman is Abagail Alfano of Pine, Louisiana - she has been studying them
daily and one morning put the cup from the feeder, with water in it, in her
hand; as they had gotten used to her standing by the feeder they came over
to her hand. She says in touching they are as light as a feather. Abagail
also said, 'if she had known her husband was taking pictures she would have
put on makeup.'
