[va-bird] First Ruby-throat in Russell Co.

VA Birders and Others,
I just received a call from Charles Kennedy, the owner of Raven Ridge Bed and 
Breakfast and Campground, near Hayters Gap in Russell County.He had his first 
male Ruby-throated Hummingbird today (3/26/05). This is a surpise since Raven 
Ridge is above 3700 feet elevation. I would have thought that the early 
migrants would have passed through at lower elevations, where insects and the 
first blooming flowers could be found. Perhaps a person more knowledgeable on 
hummer migration could throw a little light on the subject. Charles has two 
hummer feeders out, so I suppose it's time for the rest of us to do the same.
