Hummingbird limerick

I wrote this today:


HUMMINGBIRDS                     
 
In our desire to understand 'em
We're devoting ten years to band 'em.
But the more we learn,
The harder to discern
Their actions as anything but random.

Thanks for the verse!
How about a White-eared Hummingbird?

Jane, funny you should mention White-eared. Talking about them was my inspiration for the limerick. Actually, hardly any have been seen this year, just a couple reports from the Davis Mountains.
