"Lucy" the Hummingbird

This beautiful little female rufous hummingbird flew all the way from South America this spring to sit on my feeder for a sip of sugar water.
I am not sure if she was sick or just too old, but I was able to take these photos because she didn't move from here all day. Late that afternoon I brought her into the house and hand fed her to see if I could get her to come around. But in the end it was not meant to be, and she won't have to make that long flight back this fall.
