[TN-Bird] WillieBoy Day 11

WillieBoy may be gone!  He came to the feeder at 6:30 this morning and took 
three quick sips, then came back in 2 minutes for the same;  10 Minutes later 
he came back and drank for just over a minute and then continued visits until 
just a while before the bander came.  After the bander set up his equipment 
WillieBoy never appeared again and even though the equipment was taken down at 
12:00, we still
have not seen him and it is 3:00 now.  
We're heading for Florida in the morning to try for the Masked Duck being seen 
near Melbourne and will leave out two feeders just in case WillieBoy is around. 
 But since he has never stayed away from the feeder this long before and his 
usual last visit is around 3:00 on warm days, we can only assume he has 
departed.
