Dave Cahlander just left a few minutes ago, after photographing much of the morning. He managed to get the clearest tail shot yet, which you can see at <http://www.lauraerickson.com/graphics/Birds/LauraDigitalCamera/Hummingbird/DCahlanderIMG_4996.jpg> He burned a CD of his photos before he left, so they're already up on the web page.
As always, updates and all photos are at <http://www.lauraerickson.com/Birds/NovemberHummingbird.html> If the page isn't showing information that I've said is on there, press your browser's "Refresh" button, because a lot of time browsers keep pages like this in their temporary internet files, and display the older version for a day. I'm afraid the last I see her is going to be within the next two hours, because we're leaving in the morning before sunup and she goes into hiding in mid-afternoon. Here's wishing her a safe and quick departure, or unprecedented hardiness! Laura Laura Erickson Duluth, MN NOTE address change: [email protected] Producer, "For the Birds" radio program <http://www.lauraerickson.com/> There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. --Rachel Carson
