My Pond. Notice frog in foreground and pickerel flower high in the middle of the pond.

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!
