This little guy/girl flew into our dining window so hard I thought it was a big bird. When I went out to look, there was a tiny hummer, an Anna's, not looking at all alive.
Since I could feel a tiny heartbeat when I picked him/her up, I brought him (OK, I'm calling him a boy) inside and just held him a bit. Of course took a couple of photos too. He was none too quick at coming around.
I finally thought he'd come to enough to go outside, but when we went out he showed no interest in leaving my hand. I wet my fingers in the little fountain and dribbled water on his head. After that he sat up, but still stayed in my hand. I walked him over to the feeder and tried to encourage him to get on a perch, but he stayed on my palm. In another minute or two, he took off wit a hmmmmmm toward one of the oaks.
I think this guy was very close to the big nectar dispenser in the sky!
