Stationary Hummer

So, say you’re a hummingbird trying to cope with 40mph+ winds, blowing dust and smoke from wildfires on the north and the south, temperatures in the 90s and humidity around 5%. What would you do?

Probably the same thing this little guy is doing…perching on a tomato cage sheltered by a concrete block wall, and leaving the hovering to the helicopters.
