The Rufous Hummingbird in Fairborn (near Dayton) is also still here and will now be included in the 29 Dec Dayton CBC. I have two feeders, 1 with a flood light aimed at it. Has kept the solution from freezing at the lows experienced so far but I will be adding a different feeder during snowy periods, a Perky Plus 4 petal as I find the disk style feeders collect snow and ice in their ports too readily. Since I have the floodlight sort of below the disk feeder (heat rises) it doesn't always keep the top totally melted. My flood light is staked into a big flower pot on top of a step ladder, the top step is plastic which I am hoping does not crack and break while I'm at work. I worry a lot about something happening while I'm at work (ladder breaking, bulb burning out, feeder getting knocked down). Found an article stating that PA was reporting a record number of wintering hummingbirds.
