NANCY NON SEQUITUR:

Illustration

“For naturalist Mary McWhorter, the delight of watching hummingbirds was defined one day by a Chinese visitor to Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary in Modjeska Canyon, California. She watched as the old man slowly climbed to the sanctuary’s bird-viewing porch, then waited expectantly near a feeder. He’d come from a continent that has no hummingbirds – they’re native only to the Americas. As if on cue, an Anna’s hummingbird zipped up, wings ablur and feathers flashing red and green in the sun. After a moment at the feeder, the little bird darted off. Astonished, the visitor bowed from the waist repeatedly in the feeder’s direction, saying softly, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
