It's liquid. I can tell in the original, but cropped it.

I suppose you've never been nailed by a sea gull. :-(

Really not sure what my hummingbird is doing but saw this video and they say it's peeing. No big deal to me, and sorry if you find it nasty or offensive. Just thought it was a decent shot of a hummingbird in flight and relieving himself.

Exactly so. Hummingbird diet consists of 95% nectar, which is mostly water. Hummers eject excess liquid just about every time they take flight.

Birds urinate and dedicate at the same time through the same port.
