All —
This warm spring surely would mean an earlier-than-normal arrival of a ruby-throat, I thought. The feeder went up March 6.
Last year’s first was March 18 on game cam and visual sighting was March 21.
Today’s sighting of one and then two hummers was both by game cam and visual sighting.
They are making a ruckus in the nearby woods.
Typically, I see only one bird at the feeder for days before spotting a second. The feeder is within 20 feet of the living room window, so it gets looked at a lot.
Seeing two suggests the possibility that the first bird has been here for several days without being spotted.
