I put my feeders up. :)

After a week at the Outer Banks we came home on Saturday night fully
expecting that most if not all our winter guests will be no longer here but
much to our delight the adult male Baltimore Oriole showed up for his grape
jelly and Coe suet breakfast this morning. The Hermit Thrush is still hanging
around but the Red- breasted Nuthatch, Pine Siskin and Purple Finch did not
show up today.
Another pleasant surprise was a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird that checked
out the oriole feeder and made us scramble to put up our hummingbird feeders
and he came to them soon after. The summer guest season has begun.

And so we wait! Always with anticipation. Knowing that the cycles of
migration are in play!
But so far no hummingbirds here.....soon....

storm had passed in RVA.

We had our first 2021 ruby throated hummingbird here in New Kent along
Lake Chickahominy this afternoon. Where else are they dropping in here in
the capital region? It's time.
Today's hummer came to kitchen window and to sunflower feeder that hasn't
been swapped out yet. We still have 6-12 evening grosbeaks at feeders in
the morning. Put out sugar water immediately. Looking forward to
tomorrow.
If you consider birding the Chickahominy, wood ducks are house hunting in
trees.
