Gloria Halesworth feeds an injured hummingbird last Friday. The Halesworth operate Wild Wing Rehabilitation from their Ahwatukee Foothills home and have been helping nurse injured birds back to health for the past nine years.
The Halesworths display a collection of hummingbird nests.

Gloria Halesworth and her husband Paul have been rehabilitating hummingbirds and songbirds for nine years out of their home in Ahwatukee Foothills. Gloria (above) is in her \"infirmary\" where their efforts work and the birds can be released into the wild - or they have to be euthanized.
