Renee,
My 12 hummer feeders have been up and ready for weeks
in Arlington, with no sighting yet.
Maybe the one your boyfriend saw will find her way to
my yard -- here's hoping!

9am - here I am rushing to get out of the house to
start my weekend trip up to
the Hudson Valley - the rain is making the thought
of driving daunting, I'm not
even packed yet, and the hummingbird feeder has to
be changed before I leave!
Just as I'm ready to walk outside to re-fill the
feeder, my boyfriend returns
from the metro - not only is traffic at a virtual
standstill, there was no
parking at the metro. (Great, I can't wait to drive
up 95!)
He follows me out while I go to the feeder. I take
it down, start unscrewing
the lid when he exclaims (and wide-eyed I might add)
- "DID YOU SEE THAT!?" Of
course, I didn't - I had my head burried at the
feeder on the table!
He claims that, in fact, a bright green hummingbird
flew RIGHT to where the
feeder had been, took one look at us, an one look at
the empty hook and flew
away again!
So, that's my first "sighting" of a hummingbird here
in Alexandria!
