Sorry for this late post, busy doing other things...From my yard in Perry County: First of season Ruby throated Hummingbird showed up on 4.07.06 and made its presence known by peeking in the windows, little devil. I was caught off guard since their usual show up date for the past few years has been 4.11 faithfully. I hurried up my dinner to cook up the sugar water for him and he's been here since despite the cold lows (20's) we've had lately. Nashville can have a low of 40, but here we freeze...dogwood winter. He's since been joined by another male and the fights have begun. Another feeder has been put up in the yard away from the first. First of season warblers: on the evening of 04.09.06 from the windows looking to the front woods I observed the following: BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER YELLOW-THROATED WARBER BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER.
