Hi Golda, what a precious image! Echoing all the other comments, - have only just seen this one. Am so glad you were able to save him.

We had one that got caught in our solarium several years ago, - we had been out, and he was pretty exhausted by the time we found him, he'd been trying and trying to escape thru the glass "roof" of the solarium, instead of going back to the partially opened sliding screendoor that he'd got in thru. I caught him when he was close to the floor, and held him in my hands while taking him back outside, and released him from the sundeck. He felt very warm in my hands. Wish we'd taken a photo, but weren't so "into" that at that time.

Wanted to mention that Carol has a group for "just" Hummingbird photos etc, if you'd like to join. This photo would look great there. Hope to see you there also.

What a beautiful Hummer, Golda - and another heartwarming story. Vicki

WOW!! what a nice shot,too bad you had to knock him out to get it.lol

What a fantastic story, Golda! The great advantage for me (who's never seen a hummingbird) of this picture is that your husband's hand provides a sense of scale for the bird, and shows just how tiny they are.
