The Hummers are Here

Female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird

Very soon after putting the feeder out, the first hummingbird of spring arrived to sip at the sugar water. This year, I hung the feeder on a tree branch in a shadier, more protected location which seems to be just right for the new arrivals. It always brings such happiness to see these tiny jewel-like birds and hear them chattering as they go about the business of being hummingbirds!
