After several Thick-billed Murres in Cleveland this morning (in the collection at the natural history museum, truth be told...!), I ran a couple of errands before arriving home. As I walked around the corner to go in the side door of my house at 2:40 PM, I got a brief glimpse of only the green back of a hummingbird checking out a purple mum. It left and though I have watched as much as possible, I have not seen it again. Two feeders now contain fresh sugar water and I will get nothing done for the rest of the weekend as I do some hovering myself, at my window. Kathy Mock Barberton, OH Summit Co.
