[TN-Bird] Rufous Hummingbird Day 63

Willie got a little extra sleep last night and didn't make his first
appearance at the feeder until 6:32 a.m. this morning.  He didn't have a
normal day yesterday.  Usually when the weather is warm - it was almost
60 degrees - he sits on the feeder and takes long drinks.  But he
continued his morning routine all day - just hovering and drinking.
Maybe he is nervous about the hawks that visit our yard.  The little
Sharp-shinned has been regular and this week a Coopers in a strange
morph spent part of a day sitting on one of our brush piles.  I don't
think he would be more than a snack for either of them and probably
isn't in any great danger, but he just seemed especially wary.  Or maybe
he is getting homesick and restless.
