Rescued hummingbird

We saw this hummingbird on our feeder yesterday and he had a HUGE ant on his beak. I started wondering if hummingbirds ate ants, and really didn't know, and after a while he really didn't look all that comfortable.

Sara caught him EASILY (he wasn't moving a whole lot. All puffed up and stressed-looking), and we thought we could just scrape the ant off of him. But scraping wasn't doing the job, so I just grabbed the ant and yanked it off of him. It was on there TIGHT. We had a little bit of blood on the rag, and the hummingbird didn't seem too happy (before or after). But he drank some more from the feeder, and eventually flew away.

Kind of a bizarre occurrence.
