Although this morning's temperature was 14 degrees, it got down to 6 last night before I went to bed. The hummingbird was at my feeder at 7:23 this morning.
I'm obviously very concerned about her, and left the window to my office open for quite a while yesterday, just in case she happened to wander in... She did fly in for a few moments, circled the room giving it a once-over, but then headed back outside. Like Huck Finn, this little bird apparently does not want to be sivilized.

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
