[TN-Bird] Lingering Hummingbird

The immature male Ruby-throated Hummingbird continues at our feeders.  We felt 
sure he was going to leave Wednesday morning because he sat on one of the 
feeders for over five minutes and drank many times.  We thought he was getting 
some extra sugar water for a trip.  But he is still here late on Thursday so we 
assume he'll be around tomorrow morning.  
Yellow-rumped Warblers are still delighting us as they zoom around the yard.  
Wednesday we had flocks of Cedar Waxwings, American Robins, and Chipping 
Sparrows.  An immature White-crowned Sparrow has joined the others for the past 
three days.  All the birds got a scare on Wednesday as a Cooper's Hawk flew 
into the yard and worked his way carefully through the bushes trying to make a 
bird frightened enough to move.
