This one had me stumped for a second. How was Tennessee the national champ so many times? Then it hit me. I feel a bit embarrassed...Quote:

Here's my new setup for keeping hummingbird nectar from freezing.

You still got hummers around? They leave here when it starts freezing regularly.Quote:

Yes, Anna's hummers stay here year-round. Tough little buggers. Apparently when it gets really cold they enter a torpor state overnight to conserve energy.Quote:

That is weird. I guess it makes sense that perching birds' feet might continue to grasp even in death. They certainly can sleep without falling off branches.Quote:

Self Pity
I never saw
a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will
drop frozen dead
from a bough
without ever having
felt sorry for itself.
