What's that buzzing sound?

So this cracks me up--Michael is afraid of Hummingbirds! He says they are like little flying screwdrivers just waiting to poke your eye out. He keeps his sunglasses on while they are flying around and last year went and put the feeder down in the back of the yard, like we could actually see them that far! So this year I talked him into putting it back up on the porch so we could see them flying around. Well.......making fun of Michael and his fears came back to bite me this morning. Matthew and I were playing in the sandbox when I heard a buzzing sound, then felt something hit the back of my shoulder when I looked up guess what it was?! Yes I had been "attacked" by a Hummingbird, actually two of them!! This little fella is very protective of "his" nectar and chases off all the other Hummingbirds. In his fury to run off the other guy I was hit. So, okay I guess Michael does have some reason to worry!

I'm with Michael on this one - there's something a little creepy about them. They're like giant insects. Did you have to go to the ER?
