Just thought those people who are waiting for hummingbirds to arrive, would like to know that our first arrived on 15 April. I immediately, put our feeder out. Today two male Ruby-throated hummers briefly fought it out at the feeder. Also, for the first time this year we had--three Rose-breasted Grosbeaks (2 males, 1 female)--enjoying food and bath, and our first male Indigo Bunting. Nice treat. We're at 1801 feet over the Clinch Mountains in Hawkins County.
