Bird Through the Window

Last night Simon found a small bird in a tree. Poor thing was so hot & panting. Sasha pushed Simon away and called me out to look. We thought it might be a hummingbird. We tried to put some cool sugar water near the bird, and she flew right into our living room (since our windows were wide open to try and cool the place off).

She made herself right at home--flying from lamps to cupboards and back. She couldn't seem to figure out how to get back out the window. . .so we had to 'trap' her in our cat carrier and carry her outside. Even then, she just flew back to the tree for a rest. Poor, cute thing!!

Any ideas about what kind of bird she is?

Also, we had a great weekend in MT for my 10th high school reunion. As soon as I have a chance, I'll post photos here. . .it was a pretty wild trip!!
