I was shocked to see my first ruby throat this morning. Fortunately I
had put a feeder up yesterday - I always put one up on April 1 to aid
any migrants. I've tracked my first arrival for years, and the earliest
I've ever had one is April 13 in 2001. I also start monitoring the
hummingbird migration map on April 1, and I noticed that one was
reported in central VA. on March 26. Things are definitely happening
earlier this year!
