I have been feeding birds for years, But this year is the strangest I've ever seen. Not only do I seem to have a hummingbird here in the winter, he is orange, not green with white and a red throat like all hummingbirds I've ever seen. I would have thought they would freeze to death in the winter, this is something I've never seen in my life. Of course, i cannot feed them in the winter, as the feeders would burst when they freeze, but have put food out on the rare 40 or 50 degree day, I've only seen him eat there a couple of times this winter so far. Is this a hummingbird that someone cruelly painted orange and kept in the house or why is he here in february, He's been here since october, long after all the hummers go south. I live in Maine. Wouldn't he freeze to death in the winter here?
