With respect I disagree. The hummer has remained at the feeder for several weeks now
returning each morning to its station under a gazebo next to the home. An attempt at
capture while it is still free-flying, active and unhurt will only scare it off for good
to an almost certain and early death. If the home owner finds it weak and grounded then it
is time for a trip to rehab. But until then I think we should let nature take its course.

That Ruby-throated Hummingbird in Economy really needs someone to rescue him. The pics
show what appears to be an injury on the right side of the breast or wing. Could someone
(preferably the feeder owner) catch him? Wonder if they'd take him at the Cobequid
Wildlife Rehab. Centre in Hilden? Or at Hope for Wildlife?
