Hummingbird Gets Right in Water Spray

Every evening I go out and water the plants and lawn with a hose that has a sprayer nozel. I saves more water than leaving a sprinkler on all the time, and when I do it at night the the plants have more time to enjoy it.
Anyways, to my amazement when I was watering a female Rufous hummingbird comes right over to the water spray and gets a drink of water. She was maybe 5 feet from me. It was after about a week of hot weather, so maybe there wasn’t anything else around. She would come over and drink for about 6 seconds then go sit on a branch and shake off. She helped me water the lawn for about 20 minutes.
It thought it was cool.
