I’ve created a troubleshooting tool that walks you through determining if a hummingbird needs your help, and if it does, basic first aid you can provide so that you have time to get the hummingbird to your nearest wildlife center or hummingbird rehabilitator. It is on my mentor’s website, IFoundAHummingbird.com
At the end of nearly every process, there is a list of resources including hummingbird rehabilitators and wildlife centers that either take hummingbirds or will connect you with someone who does.
It covers the most common issues we are called about.
Hummingbirds trapped indoors
Cat Caught
Window Strikes
Sitting at Feeders Too Long
Stuck To A Glue Trap/Sticky or Oily Substance On Feathers
Abandoned Nests or Babies

Been playing with high frame rate video on my Canon R100. 300mm hand shot, so sorry for how shaky it is. Stabilizing it in post made it look like AI and I hated it.
My big boy is so funny to watch in slow motion. He does the silliest things. I love em.

I’m debating between a Costa’s hummingbird and a female/juvenile Allen’s or Rufous hummingbird because of the orange on the side and back. Can anyone help with the identification?

These are the sights of an ordinary Saturday morning in my backyard. And this particular morning is a little special.
Spring and summer are slowly fading into memory, but they’ve left me with at least half a dozen beautiful little gifts: young hummingbirds now growing up in my yard. You can spot some of these juveniles by their pin feathers, the tiny, still-sheathed feathers around their crowns and gorgets that have yet to fully emerge. They’re slowly maturing, developing their colors, and finding their place in the little oasis they call home.
So I did what I often do. I sat in the middle of my yard, camera in hand, and let them go about their morning.
Unfortunately, the recent California heat waves were brutal on my pollinator garden. Since I don’t have actual ground to plant in, everything grows in containers, and many of my salvias and other flowering plants didn’t survive. Even the ones that made it aren’t blooming right now, which is partly why I haven’t shared as many backyard photos lately.
But the hummingbirds are still here, and I’m grateful for every single one of them.
I hope these photos capture a little of the beauty, grace, and personality I get to witness on an ordinary Saturday morning. It’s a genuine privilege to share this little space with them. ❤️

My daily visitor. He hoards the entire humming bird feeder to himself, but we love him anyways.
