Hi All, She is still hear, just shy of 3 weeks since she arrived and a week after she was banded. She seems to perch in the mulberry trees, a little ways behind the feeder and her pattern is to come and drink and then perch. Perhaps she goes into torpor in between feeding times to help her gain weight. I think she looks more robust than a week ago but it is hard to tell with her feathers sometimes fluffed.
I am somewhere between hoping she leaves before the bad weather coming at the end of the week and hoping she stays, as that weather will also persist to the south as well. Time will tell, but this morning she is still her. Ann
