Natural History Wanderings

The Guardian reported on a Rufous Hummingbird that had migrated by private jet. The bird had ended up in Minnesota in the winter and had little chance of survival. It was rescued by a homeowner who found the bird at her feeder.  She brought the bird to a wildlife center who found an anonymous plane owner who transported the bird to Texas.
