Greetings, At 5:18 PM, a female ruby-throated hummingbird came to my feeder in the Charlotte Park section of West Nashville. She fed hungrily until 5:21 PM, then flew off through the neighbor's back yard toward the west. Now, a male is here with a/the female nearby Maybe MY hummingbird "season" has finally started! I just don't seem to get any until after nesting season when they begin to roam around or start to migrate. It's really cute when a hummingbird is sipping sugar water, and a chickadee is drinking regular water from the ant trap several inches above the feeder. Happy birding.
