Hummingbird Rescue



This hummingbird somehow found its way into our garage yesterday afternoon and spent over two hours flying around up near the ceiling, unable to find his way back out. I guess hummingbirds must not be terrifically bright. After a while we decided to take matters into our own hands and enlisted the help of a couple of our neighbors. Our neigbor Howie finally caught the hummingbird with the aid of a step ladder and a lacrosse stick, and threw it out the garage door to freedom.

I was a little disappointed, because our neighbor Kevin was in the process of plugging in his shop vac, for Plan B - attempting to suck the hummingbird right out of the air. I would have liked to see how that would have turned out.
