Hummers Are Back!

It's delightful to have the hummingbirds back.  

This ruby-throated female has already found a favorite perch near the feeders.

The male, of course, is busy making sure he looks good.

He turns his head, and his ruby throat turns to glittering bronze.

He needn't worry.

He looks very good indeed.

Hummingbird's Are Back!

This evening, while we were eating dinner, we saw our first hummingbird of the season.  It drank from the feeder Don had hung out yesterday, and it must have been thirsty after its journey back from the Yucatan, because it took a very long drink.  Our earliest hummingbird sighting in the past was the 7th of April, so this one tied our record.
