Hummingbird in Spider Web

Garden Spider, Argiope aurantia

Refilling our hummingbird feeders this week, Lorna noticed a bird flopping around, caught in a spider’s web. Gently lifting the bird, she removed the web, and it flew away unharmed. 

Lorna carefully moved the spider to another part of our yard. We like spiders, but we’d prefer that they not kill our hummingbirds.
