While outside this AM ..DH discovered this hummingbird that could not fly very well. He picked it up and discovered a small drop of blood on his hand so we figured it had been in a fight..it seems to be a young half grown one...as soon as he took it over to the feeder it drank while still in his hand !! Sad news is it can't fly well enough to protect itself..it's feathers seem to be messed up. It can fly about 4 ft before crashing. Anyways, we are trying to give it time to heal overnight, and see if it can fly better tommorrow...if not the poor thing is doomed... we have no wildlife rescue here .....thought you all might want to see pictures
