> [@squeegee](#): > > Soā€¦ was the hummingbird okay? Passed peacefully thanks to OP, at least? He hasnā€™t been back since to sleep at the feeder since - only those two nights. That last night would have been rough for a hummingbird as we had a winter storm warning with lots of snow and cold, high winds. I donā€™t know if he made it. I wasnā€™t going to update because itā€™s a bit of a sad update but, since you asked. ---

Buck up, **Floaty** ; you may have extended his life two extra daysā€“just long enough for him to get out of Dodge or maybe find an even better place to hole up (although a personal heat lamp [and snacks] is tough to improve on). You affected Nature in a positive way, be proud of yā€™self! End of sermon. ---

Itā€™s _much_ warmer up here now ā€“ 45Ā° instead of 16Ā° or 19Ā° ā€“ but there have been no hummingbird sightings in four days. ā˜¹ ---
