Sadly, after a bitterly cold night, our little Cape May Warbler did not appear
this morning. We waited and waited, but now have to conclude that he succumbed
to the freezing temperatures last night. He always had plenty of food and
warmth in his heated shelter during the day, so that wasn’t an issue. The last
time we saw him was last night (February 12th) at 5.30 pm when he flew off to
roost, after stocking up on food, and warming under the heater for half an
hour. Thanks to everyone who came up to see him, he sure was a special little
guy. Tim and I became quite fond of him, and with all of life’s trials and
tribulations he became a real source of joy to us.
