Needle in a haystack...

Look what the wife stumbled upon this afternoon. It's a Rufous hummingbird and that's a nickel next to it.

It's either a juvenile or a female. Tough to tell..

Tough little bugers to hit with a shotgun...

You need about a dozen for a appetizer skewer..

Do what I do. Sit quietly on the porch,just below the hummingbird feeder. When they come to feed swat them briskly with a badminton racket.

They are so stupid,it works everytime.

They're much easier to hit if you bait um to a hummingbird feeder. I also reccommend #9 shot.

I learned it from the wood boring bee epidemic I get every year.
Sit near my workshop with cold Coors Light and a badminton racket. When the wood boring bees come around,THWACK,THWACK,SIP,SIP,THWACK.
You get the picture?

The wood boring bees are much more of a challenge with a 2" wide board about 30" long. But I suppose, at your age, you need a badmitton racket to even come close.

Another way to catch those bees is to have a cricket cage out with some crickets in it. Those silly bees will fly into the cage and can't get out.

Are you going to pin it and put it in a glass case?

You DID use precautions......didn't you ?
