Yes. An office colleague recently found a hummingbird on the ground, 
presumably, dead -- completely encased in spider web. She was able to 
disentangle the hummer and place it on a nearby plant, where it gradually 
recovered, rested, fed and eventually flew. 

I have also seen pictures (as well as hearing numerous tales) of hummingbirds 
becoming the prey of praying mantis, incredible as it may sound.
