Hummingbird WaterBoatMan, skimming over water

Rufous hummingbird male, skimming over the water like a little Water BoatMan, - all part of his bathing ritual : ) Have never seen the hummers do this before, fascinating to watch.

thankyou Janice and Carol. Am surprised you haven't seen any, Janice, - once you do, am sure you will be "hooked" on them. They are really neat. Even tho they are so small, they still go after the larger birds : )
