At 2:00 p.m. today we had our first Ruby-throated Hummingbird of 2006 - a
beautiful male in complete courting colors. This is the earliest we've had one
- breaking the previous record of April 5th. He drank deep from two of the
three feeders we have out. It began raining right after we saw him and we hope
that doesn't dissuade him from staying. And we hope he tells his friends. He
just returned while I was typing and has been drinking for almost a minute.
What a joy to see him!!!
