Hello VAbirders,
Lanny Chambers (of Journey North fame) posted on the Humnet listserv that a
Ruby-throated hummer was sighted in Manassas, on April 4. Lanny has a
wonderful hummer website, with maps for following the migration progress of
Ruby-throated hummingbirds. It's a fun and informative website for
everyone, including children.
The 4/4 sighting surprised me, since the first hum sighting in the northern
Virginia area usually tends to be along the river. My earliest FOD is
4/22, so the Manassas hum can't help but make me hopeful for any earlier
date this season.
If you have the interest and time, check out Lanny's site at:
