A Brief Encounter


Out of the corner of my eye I saw a flicker of movement through the office window. Waiting and watching for a moment, the small blur reappeared and was gone again in a matter of seconds. Ruby-throated hummingbirds had finally returned to Eastern Nebraska after their long winter absence, and I ran to grab my camera, hoping that this brave female would make another appearance. Waiting patiently for several minutes, I was rewarded with a split second of her standing still, perched just inches away from my camera before once again disappearing like a figment of my imagination.
