With a single exception a couple months ago, I haven't seen any hummingbirds at my feeders since around the end of last December - but I guess that's not as relevant as I expected it to be when I clicked on the post. Ah well...

When globally famous gay penguin Sphen died in Sydney, his partner began to sing
Sphen appears to have died of natural causes in August as he approached his 12th birthday.
His younger partner, aged eight, was taken to his side to help process the loss and understand his partner wouldn't return.
"He immediately started singing, which was beautifully reciprocated by the colony," the aquarium said.
