Frog Attacks Hummingbird
This year we have occasionally been visited by a hummingbird around our deck. Today the hummingbird was back and spent a few minutes getting nectar from flowers on the deck. After that, the hummingbird flew over to the adjacent pond. It spent some time hovering in front of a pickerel flower getting some more nectar. While watching the hummingbird a frog suddenly launched himself at the hummingbird. It must have jumped 2 to 3 feet in the air and almost caught the bird. The bird was about the same size as the frog. The hummingbird moved a couple of feet away and perhaps a foot higher, hovering for about another 30 seconds as if to say “What the F*** was that?”, then flew away. I did a search and found out that frogs have huge mouths and will eat just about anything, including other frogs!

What a shame! But that’s the ecochain.
