[TN-Bird] Hummingbirds

I saw my first male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird of the  summer this morning. It 
wasn't at my feeder, but was sitting at the bird  fountain and sipping water 
from the top portion where the water first comes  out.
 
Actually, this hummer wasn't my first of the summer,  but was the first for 
my backyard. I saw my first of the season from the balcony  of Pisgah Inn, N.C. 
It was sipping from a variety of  wildflowers.
 
With these high temperatures and high humidity, I hope  everyone remembers to 
clean and change the sugar water at least every three  days. It can go bad 
quickly with this kind of heat.
