We saw our first here in northside in the vicinity of the Botanical Gardens 
yesterday evening and again this morning at both the back and front feeders.  
Same bird or two birds?  .  

We have a carolina jessamine which is in georgeous full bloom close to the 
back hummer feeder.  Although the blossoms are yellow they are bursting with 
fragrance.  Wonder if this helps bring the birds.  The feeders are in the same 
position as they have occupied for years.  I tend to think that the birds come 
to the location.

See you all at the RAS meeting this Thursday evening.  Mary and Larry are 
bringing us up to date with a program on the MAPS bird banding project.
