All the  water in the bird baths was frozen solid this morning but the cold 
weather  brought us our first Dark-eyed Junco of the fall.  Since the  
White-throated and White-crowned Sparrows were already here, we now are  
looking for 
the Purple Finches and Pine Siskins.  
Yesterday we had  the first Hermit Thrush in our yard this year.  Tennessee 
and  Yellow-rumped Warblers are still numerous and beautiful.  And that one  
Ruby-throated Hummingbird continues to delay his departure even though the  
sugar water was frozen this morning and he had to wait until we got some fresh  
food out for him to eat.  Could we have another Willie for the  winter?  
Probably not but a nice thought.

I'm interested in that Ruby-throated Hummingbird in  Smithville.  Ours hung 
around until the 11th of this month, but a friend of  ours here in Nashville 
reported one as late as the 21st.  Are we getting  close to record late 
departures here for the RTHU?  Or does that matter any  more, given the Willies 
of the 
winter?
