I cleaned the Ripley garden hummingbird feeders this morning;
unfortunately, the leaky feeder broke completely during cleaning (I think I
found the leak!), so there is currently only one feeder in the garden. I
will try to get a replacement up tomorrow. I saw the Rufous briefly around
8:15. I went out again around 12:30 to see if she was coming to the
feeder: she finally showed up for a very short visit at about 12:50. She
hawked for insects, sat briefly in the tall, odd Viburnum, used the feeder,
and then zipped off to the right. Patience is often required lately when
watching for this hummer, but she is still around!
