This came today from Mary Whitcomb:
Hi Jane,  When this bird left late Sunday morning, I thought it had continued on it’s merry way south.  Lo and behold, it was back this morning to eat sunflower seeds and really enjoyed the clementine I quickly set out for him.  Who knows, maybe it’s wise to wait out this storm rather than to fly into it.  That certainly would have been hard to do.  Jane, I laughed at this cute little bird in spite of his predicament, because he looks like the scowling Grinch in pics 2 and 3.  The wind was ruffling his feathers and he doesn’t look too happy about it.

He would eat awhile and then 3 times, he flew to the windowsill and peeked in the window at me, as if to say, “Well, aren’t you going to invite me in?”

     That is one sour looking little bird!  The hydrangea looks warmer than it probably is, although it might give him a little comfort.  Cold night and lots of snow tomorrow, but the clementine may have given him some added sugar to keep his stamina up.  Thanks for sharing, Mary. Keep us posted on how he does.
