Awww, poor little thing. And very sweet of you to try to help her.
Here in AZ, and along the pacific coast, we have some hummers that stay all year, plus there's always some other stragglers that take their chances and stay put instead of migrating. As typical, just today my backyard was buzzing with them. A couple of days ago the low was 20 degrees for several nights and it killed about 25 of my very mature blooming landscape plants, yet today the high was close to 80, and the hummers stayed through it all. But the plants that bloomed year-round for them are mostly gone now, so I've put out feeders. Lord willing, come early spring I will dig up the dead plants (all species planted to feed hummers) and plant new ones. The hummers that grace my backyard with their presence have occasionally rested on me or on the water hose that I'm holding. They are precious.
Oh to have a hummingbird land on me! I'd be holding my breath so as not to frighten it. That is quite a temperature swing!
