Clarity,
Both of you too?
I put at least eight feeders out in the winter (Frost Bite Falls has a serious winter) and a heated bird bath.

Once a hummingbird got trapped inside our school.
He was exhausted and scared when we finally caught him (to release him).
He couldn't even flap his wings because he was so spent (high metabolic rate uses/loses energy quickly).
I was holding him in my palm and the poor guy couldn't move.
It dawned on me we should try sugar water.
His little haired-like tongue came out and he hit the sugarwater, it was like jump starting a car.
He went from spent to gone in under 30 seconds.
It was so cool to get to hold him.

In WI we just get one kind - the ruby throated.
Rocklands will be so great.
Next week.
I'll report on it.
