I was eating on my sunporch when I glanced down at a bird that landed below me--it was a HUMMINGBIRD! No mistaking that long thin bill. It was larger than a Ruby Throat. I wish I could ID it but it didn't stay long and the light was terrible with lots of reflections on the windows. I quickly found a feeder, filled it with hastily made serum, and hung it out. I have no idea how it could survive here unless it can find tiny insects.. I'll let you know if I see it again and can ID it. Even if it is a Ruby Throat, it would be a very unusual sighting for December.. Carol Keeler Auburn
