I accidentally left the door to the rock room open this afternoon. When I went out there this evening I found this little one flying around...so glad it was a hummingbird and not a bee or bat. I brought in a feeder and she was really thirsty, I don't know how long she was in there. I kept the door open hoping she would fly out but she didn't. It's dark out now so I don't think she will leave. I need to close up the room because there is a chance of rain. I brought in my hibiscus tree so she has a place to rest over night. Hopefully in the morning I will be able to get her out.
I went out there this morning and she was flying around. I had left the genie light on for her so she wouldn't ge hurt if she started flying during the night. I turned off the light and left the door open so the only light coming in was from outside. She was making peeping noises and landed on the tree a couple of times and then flew out into the rain. I had checked on her a couple of times before I went to bed last night and she was sitting in the tree, so I think she had a good nights rest but was ready to go home. I love hummingbirds.
That is cool. Did you give it a pillow and a blanky, maybe even breakfast ? It will remember the good things you did and they have many friends. That's nice.
Great story meviva thanks for sharing...looks like maybe a Costa's female - but someone else probably knows better than I. There is a great PBS Nature on hummingbirds link. Cheers

Dang forgot the pillow! No need for a blanky it was 75 degrees in the room overnight, and I did leave a buffet of 4 feeders throughout the room for breakfast. 😀
bsky4463 yes she probably is a Costas, the only males I see around are Costas, I call them Bob. I don't know how to tell the females apart if they are different, males much easier to identify. I'll have to look for the documentary. Thanks.
jakesrocks Thanks, we just got the car a few weeks ago. My husband is more into muscle cars but the 34 Chevy is my favorite. He would rather it have no fenders but I think the fenders make the car.

Het Andrea, if you show me yours, I'll show you mine. LOL
As I was writing the above post I had another visitor. This time a male. Got video this time but of course it will take three hours for me to figure out how to post it.

No Andrea, mine is a driver. No trailer queens for me. I do take it to our annual car show, but I drive it over 2-1/2 miles of dusty gravel roads to get to pavement before hitting pavement. Dust it off after parking at the show. You can always tell the cars that are driven. They're the ones with gravel chips in the paint, dust in the crevices & dead bugs in the radiator & on the windshield.
Bet your husband doesn't have an engine like this in his collection. Genuine old school Ford 4 cylinder. 1929, 4 cam bearing block.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade.

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant

You took such care, too. That must be why she let you take pictures of her.
