Hummers
















This is a picture of a hummer on her nest. It's located above the patio of the family lodge of the park we're in. The other picture is of a young hummer that fell (or was blown out) of a nest in another part of the park. He seems pretty happy in his temporary digs, and is being tended by the clerk in the store. She says she gives it vitamins in sugar water every 7-10 minutes in a vial that looks like a blood vial with a special hole for the beak. She said she feeds it all day like that, and that it will sleep all night perched on the top of a lamp shade. It had been pretty dehydrated when it was found.
