Colorado Mountain High

Ah John Denver in Vail. The atmosphere up here? A little thin. So thin that I have witnessed not one, not two, but THREE hummingbirds SIT DOWN and pant quietly, slowing their heartrate, for over a minute. Is this news to anyone besides me? So either I am imagining things, or hummingbirds have legs. Which they use. To sit very still. Quietly. For substantial periods of time. Pretty much until I point and scream, "Seated Hummingbird! Seated Hummingbird!" Weird.
