On October 31st a male Rufous and an unidentified female hummingbird arrived
at a private residence in Davidson County. Sandy Bivens banded the Rufous on
November 4th, but the female evaded capture and close scrutiny. She departed
on November 6th, but the male stayed until 5:05pm Tuesday, January 28th.

During the Polar Vortex an incandescent light bulb was hung near one of the
feeders and the nectar in the other feeder was frequently changed to prevent
freezing. 

The attentive "hosts" live on Eaton's Creek Roud near Beaman Park but
requested that their exact address not be published.
