First observation was at 7AM although I suspect RTH was at nectar feeder at daybreak. Temp was 37F. The summit of Mt Washington appeared frosty once the fog and clouds cleared. RTH continued to frequent the nectar feeder all day. Her last drink was at 6:30 pm. Inbetween visits she would retreat to birch,cherry,poplar clump which is pretty much bare of foliage at this point. At times she would be gone for awhile, I suspect taking cover in the fir trees and across the street where there is more sun and thermal gain. Temp at 6:30pm was 47f. I did not see many insects today. I took many photo with my (not so good) camera. Amazing to see her with the White Mountain Autumn backdrop. Torpor probable tonight. I am really hoping she fuels up in the morning and continues her Journey South. I love watching her but it is time to FLY little one!
