Good on you!

We sometimes get them in our garage. They get covered up in cobwebs then cannot fly. Have to carefully catch, clean off cob webs then let then fly away.

Those little things are so cool. I've only seen one all summer.

Well crap, my kid video'd one and I can't get it to load right.

So it's off and flying on its own now?

I always loved watching hummingbird aerobatics at my parents' place when I was a kid. One of those wearable feeders where they get right up in your face looks like fun too.

Nothing like having something fly right up to your face while they have a little razor sharp sword on their face. Lol

Don't need a trick feeder, just some patience...

Just talked to Kathy and she says the bird recovered rapidly and is healthy. She released him yesterday. Happy ending.
