This was quite a surprise sighting at 4:30 this afternoon! Temp was in the high 30’s & wind NNE 4 mph. I first noticed this exhausted hummingbird sitting on a salvia branch preening. It fed off the few remaining salvia flowers & eventually made it up to the feeder after a short rest on the fence railing. It sat for a long time at the feeder & eventually fed heavily. It came back several times before dark. Brought the feeder in for the night to avoid freezing due to dropping temps in 30’s with possible rain/snow mix. Will put the feeder back out early tomorrow morning.
