Hovering Hummer

We saw something really unusual the other day.  
One of our resident hummingbirds was hovering in the same spot, about six feet off the ground, for several minutes. He would dodge left, then right, go up a foot, then down two, but he continued to maintain the same basic position.
The sun came out from behind a cloud, and we could see that he was in the middle of a swarm of gnats,  and he was having lunch, snacking on the little buggers.
