I haven't seen anyone else post on it today, so I thought I should note that the Rufous Hummingbird at the Hayden Planetarium/Rose Center on West 81st Street has made it to February. I saw the bird around 2:45 PM, thanks to someone who was photographing it, but whose name I don't know. Of course with a high of 62 F in Central Park today, it felt more like spring then February. The hummer had to share the flowers with a swarm of small brown insects (bees?).
