Lil' Hummer

This little hummingbird came to stay with us after getting separated from its mother at a school campus.

We had to feed it nectar and protein during daylight hours.

And, the bird had to learn to fly, hover and land safely.

It liked to perch on the new feeder by the window where it could watch the birds outside.

After five days in our house Lil' Hummer seemed ready to be released back into the wild.

Right away, it met other hummers who were interested in the new nectar feeder.

All kinds of new sights, sounds and sensations!

Lil Hummer's first night outside went well --

and the following days and nights were uneventful too, apparently.

Just watching, learning and growing.
