Back to this week's update.

Ouch!

An observer in St. Johns, Michigan reported hummer traffic too fast to count, with males, females and young. "The male in the photo ran into the window and fell to the deck. I went out and picked it up and I was certain it was going to die. It was gasping for air. I held onto it and eventually it climbed onto my finger and flew away."
