Liz Thu, 11 Sep 2008=20 Stuck my head out this morning to see what was going on with the weather = and heard a hummingbird sounding off. Not unusual to hear them fighting=20 over the feeders. Went back out about 20 min later and let the dog out=20 and continued to hear this hummer. While the dog was going around back I = saw a spider web from one tree to the other where the feeder is. I=20 picked up my daughters butterfly net and walked over to the web and=20 proceeded to remove the web when I heard the hummer going crazy. I=20 looked down and stuck to the ground literally was the hummer. I bent=20 over to pick it up and the wings were going a mile a minute. I calmed it = and finally and picked it up. Took her inside where I enlisted the help=20 of my Mother in Law. See they do have a purpose. She is a falconer and=20 possess a rehab license. I removed the web from the wings but was having = problems with the web on her tail. We pulled the web back and had to cut = the remainder with scissors at the tip of the tail. We were very careful = and did no harm to her feathers. I took her back outside were my=20 wife,daughter and mother in law watched her fly away. It made us very=20 happy to see her within ten minutes feeding. Just thought I would share=20 the happy ending with all.
