THE FIRST FEMALE RUBYTHROAT HUMMER WAS SPOTTED AT THE FEEDER. SHE FED ON SUGAR WATER FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES SOLID THEN SHE DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH IN THE SOLAR BIRD BATH ABOUT TWO FEET AWAY. SHE FLEW THRU THE SPRAY A FEW TIMES THEN WHILE HOVERING SHE FED SOME MORE AT THE FEEDER THEN TOOK OFF FOR EITHER THE NEARBY PINE OR OAK TREE. IT SURE WAS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT AND NOT ONCE WAS SHE PESTERED BY A MALE HUMMER THAT WAS WATCHING FROM HIS PERCH ON THE CLOTHESLINE. THE MALE HAD BEEN HERE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
