Lost Hummingbird Gets Lift From St. Paul to Texas

    St. Paul, Minn. (AP) -- A rufous hummingbird has finally
made its way south for the winter after accidentally ending up
in Minnesota.
    The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota says the
hummingbird was released Sunday in Texas after boarding a
private jet supplied by an anonymous owner. The bird was brought
to the Roseville wildlife center earlier this month after it
ended up at the feeder of a St. Paul homeowner. The woman
rescued the hummingbird after she realized it wasn't likely to
survive the unseasonably cold weather.
    The Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/1FkKfFH ) reports that
experts believe the same system that brought the wintry weather
blew the rust-colored bird off its migratory course.
    The executive director of the wildlife center says there
have only been 16 documented sightings of rufous hummingbirds in
Minnesota since the 1970s.
