Rufus and Broad-tailed hummers are what I see here. The broad-tails are aerobatic masters and often "whistle" as they fly, especially as they dive-bomb from altitude. 
Pick up three or four standard paper clips, and you'll have their weight in your hand.

Great coffee table book, but a family heirloom, educational point. 1st link past the cards; N American or Eastern N American. I have my mom's.
She'd put the expired Christmas tree out on the front lawn, with 6" PCs of red yarn, (she was deaf in one ear, depression childhood strep; dad was color linds discovered when he had just 2 hrs of military flight school left.) Birds stole the yarn and nests were easier to spot a month or two later..Binocs, anyone?
Audubon even beats a $300 6 qt Kitchenaide.mixer.

My oldest friend that I have.... not by age, but the fact we've been friends since we were about 4 years old... called me last night. He's got an Excursion with a V10 that he's bringing over tonight. It's got a miss on cylinder 3 under a load. It's funny because he told me he's been reading and saw that modular motors don't like anything but MC plugs and MC or Denso coils. I told him that I'd bet he ran across me then, lol.
Anyway, I've got a MC coil we're going to put on it. He's tried a new plug, swapped an injector, and put an aftermarket coil on it (didn't know the MC thing at the time), and it stays on cylinder 3 all the time. He's also got 150psi compression, so I'm wondering if he has an issue with the wiring. He said someone in a forum told him the PCM, but I don't see that being an "under load" only issue. I'll put my new scan tool on 'er too, and see what's up.

Usual is to swap a coil and plug and see if the symptoms travel..If not, (as it did not,) it's what feeds to coil. But he has a good spare coil now. It should be carried in an ammo box or such.

He had done that already. No need to replicate tonight.

Headed down to pick Mika up from the animal hospital.
We finally got a diagnosis, and it's not good.
Her kidneys didn't fully develop, and she will only be with us for a short time.
We plan to love and spoil her until it's time to say good-bye.
