Description This little guy stopped to rest in a garden next to where my friend and I were walking... I guess he was exhausted from fighting against the wind (a storm was coming in).

I've never seen one of these sit still, let alone have a chance to hold one! Def one of the coolest moments of my life n_n.

Nope, not hurt. He was just tired because it was pretty windy, and I guess it was hard for him to keep fighting against it when he was flying.

We had one hit the back glass door yesterday and I held it till it recuperated. They weigh nothing! I hand feed my regulars and they have cold feet.

Oh goodness! Well I'm glad that it recovered .

They do weigh nothing! It's the weirdest thing. All I could feel were its little claws holding on to my hand .

Oh! I love hummingbirds! It's amazing that you got the chance to capture one so beautifully! I only see them in my yard for a second. I hope he got where he was going safely!

o.o i love humming birds! still its surprising that little bird let you hold him. not to mention it is a create picture. i love how the bird is so crisp but the background is so blurry. it makes the bird stand out a lot.
