I almost stepped on a hummingbird!

I was just walking around the building in which I work. It's something I do sometimes on nice days to keep my brain from getting too irradiated from the 3 monitors which bombard it with all those speeding photons throughout the day.

Walking through the foliage between the one parking lot and the other, there was suddenly something flopping around right where I was about to plunk my foot. I'm proud to say that I didn't scream like a girl! It was really more of a man's scream.

Anyhow, so there was this cute little green hummingbird flopping around like it had a broken wing. I crouched down and looked at it. It looked at me, then flopped again.

I'm sure there's something sage to say about this little incident, but the thing my simple little mind keeps spiraling back on is: I almost stepped on a hummingbird!

I'm pretty sure it didn't really have a broken wing. I could be wrong, in which case I must wonder if the beak would irritate the cat's stomach. At any rate, I left it there to flop for the next poor soul to wander through.
