Yesterday morning.....sitting at my desk.....minding my own business.....trying to get a little work done.....
WHAP..!!!!
A Hummer had flown into my window and was laying on the sidewalk....
I yelled to Barbara...."a hummer hit the window.....get the camera..!!"
And ran out side......scooped him up
On closer inspection we saw his wings were OK......his feet and legs were OK.....
We thought his neck might be broken....but.....after a few minutes he started to move his head...
But......the little dude was out cold....
He was seeing the cartoon "stars and tweeties whirling around his head"
I cupped him in my hands for about twenty minutes and just when i felt he may not make it....
POOF
He was gone....!!
We saw him later at the feeder.......he must be fine.....he was fussing at the other male hummer....!!
Thanks Barb for taking the pictures.....
Life is Good
BEAUTIFUL pictures. I'm so glad the little fellow is okay.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the little hummer was ok. It must have been a good feeling holding him in your hands and having him fly away too. I've never held one. Hope your Friday is a GOOD one.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see a little hummer in person - close up! Glad he was ok - thank you for sharing the pictures (thanks Barbara!!) They are such wonders :)
ReplyDeletePoor little guy! I'm so glad he's ok.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and your family this Easter season.
What a unique opportunity. Lucky you and the hummingbird!
ReplyDeleteMy MIL had the same thing happen at one of her feeders! The little guy was okay after the stars faded.
ReplyDeletePoor guy!! WE had one fall off the feeder one night last year, when it got cold- thought he was a goner - but their metabolism drops when it gets cold, and I guess he did too!! I put him in a box wrapped in a towel on the porch- he came around and was gone by morning. I am waiting for this year's crew to show up - the feeders are out and waiting for customers!!
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens
ReplyDeletehow tiny, wow.
ReplyDeleteGood evening, Linda May,
ReplyDeleteThat has to be one of the smallest creatures that I've seen. I'm glad it's OK.
Anyway, not sure you know about my Etsy team giveaways...you should stop by and sign up!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad the little guy is okay. Amazing pictures you now have to treasure. Not many people can say they were able to hold a hummer.
