I was able to relive and reinvigorate my memories of these hummingbirds dancing and being one with the rain. For them to find a treat in the rain in the oft-rained upon RAINforest, is the very definition of satisfaction for me. Although, their other traits are far less content, they are territorial about their feeders and fight a lot, the rain makes it all go away for them. They even get along.
