Today, appropriately the first of October, is the first date of the 
season without hummingbirds in our yard [at least, of the Ruby-thr 
variety). As if in compensation for the loss of this Apodiform, a late 
Chimney Swift flew past.

Yesterday's hummer came right up to my face almost accusingly and 
hovered motionless as if trying to tell me something. Sure enough, his 
favorite feeder had fallen to the ground.
