Kids pet Hummingbird, caught after flying inside house

During breakfast at my cousin Robb's and his wife Tiffany's one Saturday, I saw a hummingbird fly into the house through his open patio door. It immediately reappeared in the window from the inside trying futily to press its way back out against the glass. Robb happens to be a professor of ornithology at LSU - that means he studies birds for a living. He went inside the house, caught the hummingbird gently by the beak then brought it back outside. I made this video of the hummingbird in Robb's hands with his sons looking on in amazement, while he gave them the opportunity to get to know it up close before returning it to freedom.
