This morning marks the 7th, and quite possibly the final, day that this Immature Male has visited our feeder. Habits were quite different this morning. Intervals between feeding bouts were much shorter (30 sec. cf. 6 to 12 min.) and the bird retreated to a new loafing, preening, wing-exercising spot (Variegated Dogwood, cf Apple or White Pine tree.)
The new spot was low, just outside our den window, and I was able to get photos of him at rest.
Just returned from Hermit Island, and kept a watch on the feeder for ca 45 min. while eating a sandwich. No Hummer, and my guess is he has resumed his migration.
