Yesterday we had at least four females visiting our five feeders, and perhaps there were one or two more. The day before, saw only two. Today only one, so the stragglers are still coming through southeastern Kansas. One female flew in our open back door last week and upstairs, where she lodged in between two slats of the window blinds. I was able to reach out and close my hand over her (whew!) and carry her back out onto the deck. I laid her on the cushion of a deck chair, and she lay there with wings outspread for a full two minutes before taking off, apparently with no harm done. I could not get a photo in time, though.... very disappointing; but just glad I could rescue her unharmed.
