Due to sloth, ennui and laziness my hummer feeder is still outside my window. This morning, October 4, I spotted a hummingbird at 7:30. Not enought light to get a good look at the bird. It has kept returning for many feeds. I can now see that it is an immature ruby-throated, rather bedraggled looking, but flying well. The last hummers spotted here was around the 19th of September........Tom -- Tom Teeples 132 Lancaster Dr. #105 Irvington, VA 22480 804-438-4243 It is OK to read in the daytime.
