COBirders,
Joe Roller and myself were treated to a sighting of the bird this morning at about 6:30 while a glorious sunrise glowed over the back of the flatirons.
Yesterday was a warm/calm day with small flying critters (some woolly aphids, per Dave Leatherman) galore. There is undoubtedly a plethora of insects for the bird to eat, so with those plus the 3:1 solution she should be well nourished. At this point I am losing faith that the bird will move on before the cold/snow tomorrow, but she might surprise me.
Some evening grosbeaks & robins flew over, and the usual chickadees (mountain plus black-capped), woodpeckers and nuthatches were present at the feeder.
regards,
Adam Jack

After the longest gap (maybe 4 hours) the bird is back, and visiting the feeder.
regards,
