Hummer given me the tongue

Posted By August R. Orlandi

I caught this one right after a storm here sitting on my power line sticking out his tongue.
Buy the way have any of you heard a hummer chirp?
That same night I had one sitting on the same line chirping at me for about 1 to 2
minutes.
They sound something like a cricket.
