The Ruby throated Hummer adult that arrived on the 18th is still here this
morning. She does not use the feeders, as she concentrates on the still
flowering salvias. I debate removing the potted salvias, as it seems to be
her fuel. I want her to get on her way south, as the freeze arrives
tonight and for much of the coming week (no snow yet like you folks up north)
and the salvias will be a droopy mess tomorrow, with no more fuel for her
trip south through Chicago, St. Louis,... ach! (I might as well be sending a
first kid off to college...)
So, what say any of you experts on this bird? Is she better off without
the salvia/plants now so that she'll get outa Dodge while she still has much
daylight and fuel? I suppose I'll just have to watch and see...
