A hummingbird flew into our classroom through the school front door, down the hall, to our classroom. The hummingbird hovered and circled. It seemed to like the lights. We drew pictures of the hummingbird and learned that it was a ruby-throated hummingbird. We put out sugar water, a hummingbirdfeeder, two red jackets, fresh cut flowers, but the hummingbird wouldn't come down from the ceiling. A second hummingbird came into the window, went near our hummingbird and flew out. Our classroom hummingbird flew into the window. After THREE hours, we were able to catch it in a butterfly net and let it go outside.
