My daughter skillfully feeding a hummingbird

Kids, don't try this at home. These tiny birds are so fragile. And it's illegal to do it without a permit. Torie is holding this bird in a special grip taught to her during her volunteer work for the Hummingbird Watch Group. The conservation group bands the hummingbirds and studies them. The one Torie holds in her hand may have flown from as far away as Alaska to arrive during its migration in southeastern Arizona.
