I still have a humming bird at my feeders. One is perched there tonight. Is this a sick or injured bird? I have cats and only let them out at night due to the threat they pose to the birds. Tonight I am keeping them in because I am afraid that this bird is possibly ill or hurt. Any thoughts? It is very dark, and I think she's there to stay for the night. I'm especially concerned b/c of the weather change expected tomorrow. All the others are already gone. Thanks. Diane Brown.
