The Ripley Garden Rufous Hummingbird was at the feeder
this morning before 10:00 AM.  Janet the gardener has
provided a note about the bird, and dates marked on the note
suggest that it has been seen almost every day since last
week.
   For those who want to come and see it, the Mary Ripley
Garden in on the Mall, between the Arts and Industries
Building and the Hirshhorn Museum.  And if you get too
cold, there is a Seattle's Best coffee shop in the Castle.
