The Hummingbird is still visiting our feeder here in Plymouth. Consultation
with senior MOU members has led to a consensus that it is a Ruby-throated
Hummingbird, probably a juvenile male. Thanks to all who followed up and
weighed in on this.
We hope he decides to make a run for it pretty
One lonely female hummer visited my feeders here in Plymouth on Thursday
morning. I have not seen her today, yet.

This morning as I left the house, I thought I saw a hummingbird make a hasty
retreat from the daffodils. I checked the Ruby-throated hummingbird
migration map, and they have sightings in Minnesota and Wisconsin yesterday.
Hopefully, I will get the feeder out tonight.

Had a female hummingbird visit our feeders at least three times this
morning. Cherie saw her first. Even with rotating feeders I am not able to
keep them thawed and I am not sure that she ever got anything. She was not
able to figure out our newer fancy glass ball feeder, although she drank

Today I happened to return to a favorite haunt, the Reservoir Woods area in
Roseville, and found, to my surprise, a jewelweed meadow swarming with
ruby-throated hummingbirds. This area has been marshy in years past, but the
jewelweed seemingly has exploded, and now seems to be

After the extremely cold night, the hummingbird came this morning at 7:23
and fed often while I was watching until 9:25. It's a cloudy day, but the
temperature rose into the 30s, and it's supposed to be rather mild for
several days. I had some errands to run, and returned at 11, but I haven't
It's 18 degrees and snowing, and the hummingbird arrived at 7:32 am.

nearly as much as forecast--it was 30 degrees when I woke up. I mashed up

It's 28 degrees this morning, but the sky is almost clear--just enough pink

feathers, Don Mitchell (master hummingbird bander who did a lot of work
with Selasphorus in California) is convinced the bird is an adult

The rufous/allen's hummingbird was back today, from 7:10 am on and off
through 2:05 pm. He's most persistent and active in the morning. He spent
the most time in the cherry tree feeder and the box elder feeder, but has
also discovered the feeder I hung this morning on a dead aspen by the
At 7:59, the hummingbird returned. I'll try to get better photos, but it's
a pretty uncooperative--or at least extremely active--little bird so I
don't know if I can get a photo of the spread tail.

The Selasphorus hummer at my feeder today was an animated little guy! It
was a gray day, and he was quickly in and out at the feeder, but I did get
some photos of him. He stopped coming a little before 3 pm, and so I don't
know if he moved on or if he'll be back, but I'll post tomorrow the
