He was a young migrator, here from Oct 20th to Oct 30th. While here, he visited/nectared from the flowers for the first 2 days and then mainly ate from the flowers but also came to the feeders.

He was here late in the year, of course it was getting cold out. He was shivering and sluggish, not looking well while sitting at the feeders, and the weather would be dropping down below freezing (25�). I put out Christmas lights. A couple mornings he looked amazing sitting on a zip tie...under the Christmas lights...that we put out for warmth. He'd warm himself, he�d stretch this way and stretch that way, he'd warm up and look fine again.

The 29th and 30th it warmed nicely outside during the days. I thought he would take advantage of migrating on. He was here the 30th. I haven�t watched for him after that because of illness in the family, I�ve been very busy with taking care of things. He could have been here longer. I do still have the feeders up just in case. I change and clean them regularly. I generally keep feeders up 2 weeks after the last one has left, or 2 weeks after people up north last see them.

I was so pleased to be able to get pics and nice videos of him.
