After 20 days without a hummingbird sighting, we were surprised to see our latest visitor ever. I spotted this one about 5:40pm. Although I still had a feeder out, I quickly warmed up some sugar water from the frig and put out another feeder to give it a warmer option, but it seemed quite happy to feed from my fuchsia and salvia. It was cold today with a bitter north wind and a cold night ahead. From the photo, it looks like the hummy is still recovering from molting and the feathers around the beak have not grown back. I hope it is able to get a good feed in the morning and ride that north wind to a warmer place tomorrow.
