This morning the keeper found the little hummingbird on the deck by the door. The little bird was cold and had probably died in the night. We watched as she placed it on a big maple leaf and covered it with another one. Then a beautiful larger hummingbird with a bright fuchsia head came to the feeder. We have never seen this bird before, but it was beautiful, out of a fairy tale. We vigiled with the little bird until the keeper came home from her office and then we had a burial in Kittyrood. We have a special affinity for hummingbirds here, and we lit a candle which burned into the night.
