Did you ever hold a hummingbird?


This is Janice holding a hummingbird in our back yard. We're pretty sure this little guy is one of the babies that hatched in the nest on our front porch, but we can't be absolutely certain.

At first glance, one might think this is a domesticated bird. Actually this little guy clocked himself when he flew into our storm door glass. Janice picked him up to protect him and he sat there dazed for about ten minutes before taking off. He was just fine after that, but he didn't fly into the glass door again.

Isn't he absolutely beautiful?
