CoBirders,
This "Mag" survived the night despite freezing fog/frosted trees and a low
temperature of 26.5F. Today looks like a glorious day, so hopefully
temperatures will rise and the frost will melt. I've come to respect her as
a very tough bird (e.g. overnighting for more than 12 hours in
cold/fog/frost.) This morning she looks/acts healthy and not phased by the
last 24 hours. (I did replace her slushy/frozen 3:1 solution before light
this morning so she had a warming food supply. She came at the normal time,
around 6:15.)
I've read that Mags may be more insectivorous than other North American
Hummingbirds, needing nectar less than other species, and that both matches
my observations and might be good for her if she moves south.
If her flying food supply also made it through the night then I hope she is
in for a good day. That said, if visitors are planning to come observe the
bird today, please contact me with when and we can work out how to impact
her the least.
If you visited and have not, and would not mind filling out this visitor
log, I'd appreciate it:
