[net.rec.birds] Injured Hummingbird

While walking with my dog this morning before work my
boyfriend and I happened on a hummingbird sitting in the
wet grass.  It was fluttering and trying to fly but it's
right wing was injured.  I suppose there is not much hope
for the little guy to survive but we feel we have to try.
We just couldn't leave it there on the grass (typical
meddling humans).  If any of you have any suggestion or
clues on how to care for a hummingbird please pass them
along to me.  He certainly is an exquisite little creature.
