No Luck With Rufous

As I have done for several years, the last nectar has been sitting out deep into the fall.  And the little hope and expectation was that each year, just maybe, a Rufous Hummingbird would find the feeder.  And stick around.  And each year that hope gets dashed.  It's been ten weeks past the last Ruby Throated Hummingbird left the area and I am getting more of the mind 2013 didn't deliver, either.   I will persist a little longer, perhaps to the end of the month.  There's always a tiny chance.  Maybe.
