Big bugs, tiny birds?

This is the best photo I could snap of this little thing.  It was really happy with these flowers.

Okay, we've posted about the very, very large bats on Base and the very large bugs on our screen.  Are you starting to see a pattern?  I thought I was too until our walk to see the sunset this evening.  On our way, we found...well, we think it was a hummingbird.  It was definitely the tiniest hummingbird I've ever seen, if it was indeed a hummingbird.  I tried to snap a few photos, but once my flash turned on, the little guy got a bit possessive of his flowers (I think he thought I was going to post the directions to his private garden so all the other little flying creatures could find it) and took several diving runs at us.  We quickly decided to finish our walk to the Sea Wall and got some photos of the sunset.  So, big bats, big bugs, and small birds...who woulda thunk?
