Folks,I am getting a bit concerned because I haven't seen the first RT Hummingbird in my yard this spring. Normally, they arrive at Azalea blooming time, but with the strange weather, they were still in South America when my Azaleas bloomed. I can console myself with the fact that our resident pair of Green Herons have returned to nest for the fourth year. They fly over the stock pond at low altitude and sometimes land in the tops of nearby trees. Also, at least two male Indigo Buntings are assaulting each other at the feeder and from time to time there will be Mourning Doves or Eurasian Collared Doves, but they mostly feed on the ground under the feeder. Where are all my beautiful RT Humming birds? There is one at a feeder just down the street, but that isn't soothing my conscience any!
