Rehydrating a Baby
After examining, recording and banding this lovely baby broad-tailed humming bird, the expert made sure it was rehydrated with a full crop of sugar-water before releasing it. Because this was a very young baby it was placed back in a tree instead of being "adopted" and handled by another person before release. Arizona 2009
