Love it!! Last year I "rescued" an adult hummingbird that flew into our garage and got caught in the deep window. I cupped it in my hands and took it outside. It still follows me everywhere when I am outside. It's a rufus, so I hope it will be back next spring. |

I cannot watch videos on the computer in the middle of nowhere Texas, but I can share a few hummer pictures. The first two are hummers that flew into our back window. They were stunned and on the ground when I picked them up. I held them both to the feeder until they drank enough to flutter off. Both birds are Ruby Throated, but are either juveniles or females. The last is a male Ruby Throated. We also get Buff Bellied, although it is unusual to get them in our area. They are a little larger than the Rubies and sound like high power electric line static.

Yikes! Where did they go? I will put them back in . . . hopefully! Michael tells me our server is down, so I will have to wait until it goes back up. Edited by TexasCountryGal, Dec 2 2010, 05:09 PM.
