Poor Hummingbird

On my way into the office this morning, I almost stepped on this little guy. He was sitting in the middle of the pathway in the parking lot. At first I thought he was dead, but he moved a little when I was trying to nudge him off the sidewalk. Poor guy couldn't fly anymore or tuck his wings back in place after stretching them. After unsuccessfully trying to pawn him off for $20 (hey, I need diaper money!), I placed him at the bottom of a tree in the sun.

Update: I just checked on him after lunch, and I'm afraid he's gone up to birdie heaven... :(


Rest in peace...

Poor hummingbird! You deserve an humanitarian award for taking the little bird out of harms way i.e the walkway! :) I hope a cat doesn't discover it though...

I take my "humanitarian" comment back! I can't believe that you tried to pawn the little birdie off! :( Bad Ed, bad! :(
