COBirders,
Our magnificent vagrant has been at the feeder again this morning.
Today is another abnormally warm day in this amazing Colorado fall.
Yesterday was sunny, and the air filled with insects; small to medium sized
gnat-like fliers (perfect for the hummingbird, I would imagine) and even
some butterflies & moths. Today looks like a similarly nice day, starting
out a bit windier. The sunrise this morning was off the charts. An iPhone
photo cannot do it justice, but maybe it conveys the idea:

One interesting turn is that the hummingbird is having to compete with a
Hairy Woodpecker who likes the taste of sugar. I ask it to leave, since it
has the seed to eat also, but it clearly has a sweet tooth. Luckily the
hummingbird is more persistent than the Hairy is interested, so she gets
her turn.
Hopefully the bird will continue to feed & stay nourished, and then soon
move on.
regards
Adam
