Glad she finally let you help her out :)

She had flown into the visitor center, for three days we tried and failed to catch her. Finally she wore out and settled in a place where I just reached up, gently cupped my hands around her and brought her out. She then sat in my hand for 15-20 minutes recovering and drinking nectar. After a bit she flew away seemingly unharmed.

Please tell the story, Is it alive? It has been pretty cold!
