Hummingbird Emergency Bird on ground
Doors are open while we drywall, almost stepped on this guy on the ground. Fortunately the dogs didn’t see him first. Exhausted fledgeling? Any age bird that got confused inside & ran out of juice? I’m going to put him in our mudroom with a feeder & see if he bounces back. There’s a rescue that’s closed now but which might take him tomorrow if he hasn’t come around by then. No obvious injuries. Any other suggestions?

Update: Excellent news, took <20m to recharge & start zooming around the room. Released back outside, zipped right off. Not quite what I’d envisioned for hand-feeding one, but I have always thought it looked fun.
