(Posted by Linda Sparling <[email protected]> via moumn.org) The bird was seen by several observers at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday, 21 Sept. The bird did not return for at least a half hour by the time I left and had not come in to chase off RT Hummingbirds as has been it's routine. Since the intervals at which it comes back to it's 'favorite' feeder have increased, it seems the bird has expanded its territory somewhat. The ever-gracious owners indicated they'd get word out if they stop seeing this beautiful visitor.
The directions, again are to take Hwy 169 south from the Cities. Just after the LeSuer water tower and car dealership (with the Cambria fountain visible from the road), take a right on a dirt road, with Pumpkin Hill Road indicated on a street sign. I took a right (since the road seemed to run in both directions) and fairly quickly found the house on the right side of the road.
