Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation posted on their Facebook group that they have received a significant number of birds in recent days and one of them was a hummingbird. But not just any hummingbird. It is a first for Saskatchewan – a “Costa’s Hummingbird” which is from the southwest portion of North America.

They are trying to find a way to get him back to the southwest as soon as possible.

The bird was caught in a garage where it had been sheltering from the elements for over a week.
