I really hesitate to post this because this behavior sounds so bizarre! About two months ago, a co-worker came to me and asked me about some wierd hummingbird behavior at his feeder. According to him, the hummer would perch on his feeder, then flip upside down and hang there, apparently asleep! I asked if he could have mistaken a bat for a bird, but he assured me it was a hummer. I dismissed it as the ravings of a lunatic :-). This past weekend, in a nature/gardening column in the Sacramento Bee, I noticed a question from a reader. This reader described exactly the same behavior that my coworker described! I immediately phoned my coworker, and he swears he did not write the letter to the paper. Now I am intrigued. Has *anyone* heard of *anything* like this before? -- --- Greg Pasquariello grp@unify.com Unify Corporation Be good and never poison people
