[mou] She made it though the night!

[Laura Erickson]

Although this morning's temperature was 14 degrees, it got down to 6 last 
night before I went to bed.  The hummingbird was at my feeder at 7:23 this 
morning.

I'm obviously very concerned about her, and left the window to my office 
open for quite a while yesterday, just in case she happened to wander 
in...  She did fly in for a few moments, circled the room giving it a 
once-over, but then headed back outside.  Like Huck Finn, this little bird 
apparently does not want to be sivilized.

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of 
birds.  There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of 
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.
