Hello Karen,

What's rather mindblowing is if you watch the very 1st second of the video carefully, you'll see the juvie male buzz right by her without a problem when she is on the far side of the feeder before she get's blown off! A split second difference of what happens when a gust of wind is taken by surprise by a hummer.
BTW, she's doing just fine. She wound up landing on the Salvia bush just below the feeder... [linked image]
