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.
