Another Allen's hummingbird, this time confused on how to get out of
runsamuck's bike "garage" (the tent-type carport thingie) on the back driveway. There are way more Anna's locally, I only rarely spot Allen's flying around. But they're always the ones getting stuck. We tried rolling up the sides, but he refused to take the hint, so we finally captured him between the broom and long-handled wooly duster and moved him outside - only about three feet away, but "down" is apparently not in the flight vocabulary. He buzzed away in great relief.
Why are they always Allen's?

Edit: 10/10/09 - Yet another one stuck in the patio skylight yesterday! And yes, another Allen's - feisty little guy, he was making a lot of noise.
