He made his first visit this morning at 6:44 a.m. in a pouring rain. He
is wise enough to not want to get so wet, so after his first visit to
verify the sugar water was there, he then flew to the feeder port
directly under the spotlight. This position protects him from the rain
and also warms his little body on this chilly morning. And instead of
making several quick visits, he sat in the shelter and heat and just
drank even though it is still dark and he normally doesn't sit on the
feeder until daylight. What a beautiful sight he is so early in the
morning. You're still invited to come and see him for yourself and
those who saw him in 2004 are welcome to see him again for their 2005
list. Just let us know when and we'll be sure one of us is at home.
