I’m Wendell, and I’ll explain why this late visitor is tougher and better prepared for cold weather than many people realize. I’ll share what I’ve learned about late migrants, cold-night survival, natural food sources, and safe ways to help without disrupting migration. I’ll also return to the remarkable Rufous Hummingbird that survived an Alabama winter and tell you about my own late visitor.
