Willie came to the feeder for the first time this morning at 6:35 a.m. for his usual quick visit to check for the sugar water. Now he is making rapid trips as it is still too dark for him to feel safe. It is not as cold as predicted and the rain has ended, so we expect to see him sitting for longer times today. It's amazing to us that this little fellow has been with us for 45 days. We keep wondering when the directional guide God put in him will tell him he needs to go West again. We're torn between wanting him to go back to his normal habitat and wanting him to stay so we can continue to enjoy his beauty and behavior.
