Photo: Diane Edwardson, September 3, 2011. A large hummingbird was trapped in a neighbor's kitchen. (Click on photo to enlarge.)After shooting a few photos, I carefully caught the tired and beat up hummingbird in a dish towel and set it free outside. For a few minutes, it followed me around the yard, chirping, then took off.
