Hi everyone,
I spotted the first Ruby-throat of the season for my yard today, March
4.
It was a beautiful adult male using a feeder and ignoring the many
Abutilon,
cape honeysuckle, dwarf bottlebrush, shrimp plants (winter and
"summer"),
firecracker vine (Manettia) and coral honeysuckle blooms that are in the
yard. I
have also had two adult female Black-chinned and an immature male
Black-chinned with a very incomplete gorget that have been using feeders
and flowers in
the yard since mid January. I have had no frost damage this year.
