Wow. If you haven't seen the story yet on this, here goes.

Wow guys. I am flat out amazed right now. Don and I were sitting at our computers working on candle stuff and all of a sudden two of our neighborhood hummingbirds came in and tried to get out through the window. But, it was closed, and I can't remove the screens to let them out. So we brought out two of our acrylic containers and they dropped in on their own. The one I caught was a rufous hummingbird. He flew right out as soon as he realized he was outside. I expected the same from this other fellow, but poor baby was so tired (didn't land once while in the house until the container was put under him) he didn't want to leave. So I put him in my hand (we're on the second floor, and I wasn't sure he hadn't injured himself) and tried to coax him to fly off. He tried to fall asleep in my hand instead. Finally just got him to fly free, but had to get a picture of me holding him first. Don is a pretty damn good photographer if you ask me

Edit: I apologize for the watermark, but have had recent concerns about theft of the work. This work is property of Janet Cummings and is not for any other outside use. If you wish to share this piece, please link back to this page or use the Share feature. Thank you!
