Teddy flew off to begin his future outside the nest this afternoon. I
expect Jasmine to make the big leap at any time.


Well here it is at 3:51 PM the next day and she's still sitting there like a
bump on a log.

I've seen her stretch and stick her head up today, and she's puffed up her
feathers quite a lot, and opened her mouth many times. Looks like she's
yawning.

But I haven't seen the mother come around to feed her today and her brother
that flew the coop yesterday hasn't come back to visit (my wife says she saw
a small hummer "working" on one of my penstemons while she was working in
the front yard this morning). Except for the possible sibling sighting
there's been virtually no hummers around here today. My feeder was filled
last night and it's still full. I wonder what's going on.

Maybe they all went to a rock 'n roll bash somewhere.
