Too Late?

Late spring this year,
an early fall followed.
Geese amassing,
maple leaves turning.
Yellow flowers of wild cup plant
gone to seed, now play grounds
for goldfinches.
Trumpet flowers of the climbing
honeysuckle vine are
finally out in force,
a favorite of hummingbirds.

But where are the ruby-throats?
A freeze is predicted for sooner-
than-later . . . did the little hummers
take off for somewhere
later?

Wait!

What was that?
