Delaware. it was magical. He hunkered down in my dried up hibiscus bush. I have pictures. He stayed around for about 2 1/2 weeks and left on the winter solstice with a full moon. I only saw him because I was too lazy to take one of the feeders down. The whole time he was there I kept replacing the sugar-water because it was freezing. I have kept my feeders up through November ever since
